Florida Tornado Tragedy: Dog Rescued Amidst Devastation

A CBS News reporter was involved in a poignant scene amidst the devastation caused by a tornado that recently struck Fort Pierce, Florida. The reporter, who was on location to cover the aftermath, witnessed the rescue of a dog named Benji from the debris of a destroyed house.

The tornado, part of a severe weather system associated with Hurricane Milton, had a devastating impact on the local community. Tragically, the dog’s owners lost their lives during the storm that struck the eastern coast of Florida. These events unfolded just as the storm approached, adding to the sense of urgency and disaster.

Authorities, including officials from St. Lucie County, have confirmed that the fatalities were attributed to at least two tornadoes that ravaged the area before Hurricane Milton made landfall later on Wednesday evening. The destructive weather has led to significant casualties and damages as reported by local and national news outlets.
