At least 4 killed in St. Lucie County after tornado outbreak, official says

Four people were killed Wednesday in at least two confirmed tornadoes in St. Lucie County, an official said Thursday morning. Erick Gill, a spokesperson for the county, said first responders are conducting "response and recovery efforts" after the twisters touched down starting at approximately 4:30 p.m. Sheriff Keith Pearson confirmed multiple people were killed at the Spanish Lakes Country Club, a senior community off Spanish Lakes Boulevard near Fort Pierce.

If the number of tornado outbreaks from Milton is unbelievable. I don't think I've ever seen anything like this. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but it really makes you wonder.

[@cathymclaurin4340]

Conspiracy? It's a nature situation.. If people were involved they would TARGET people...

Tornadoes are worse than hurricanes.

[@cassiecass444]

Been saying this forever!

[@ArcheryCat7]

You're right with Milton, but I do feel like Helene was more deadly than all of these tornado outbreaks. I could absolutely be wrong. We will have to see.

[@alexi.3414]

The difference is that hurricanes allow for prep time to get out. Tornadoes don't. 😞

[@hokeypokeypots]

Could have been worse. It could have made landfall as a category 5 hurricane.

[@ArcheryCat7]

That is very true. I had a feeling that Milton would lose strength, but the number of tornado outbreaks is incredible.

[@cathymclaurin4340]

The hurricane...It loss it's strength on land instead of intensifying.. the hurricane w I understand have done more damage .
