Tornado destroyed Cuban restaurant in Fort Myers.

The Cuban comedian Andy Vázquez visited the town of Fort Myers, one of the areas affected by the tornadoes that occurred in different parts of Florida on Wednesday afternoon, and found the deplorable state of a Cuban restaurant called Havana Cuban.

"The complete destruction, gentleman," Andy stated while showing through a broken window the interior of the establishment, which lost its roof and suffered severe damage.

The comedian, who has been living in nearby Cape Coral since the beginning of this year, also showed how a beauty salon adjacent to the restaurant was damaged and referred in general to the severe damage suffered by businesses in that area.

Andy Vázquez asked those who live nearby to visit the restaurant as soon as it reopens as a form of support. He also showed his willingness to offer his help, both for picking up debris now and for performing a show at the venue once they can reopen.

"This is ugly, sir," he concluded.

A photo on the restaurant's social media confirms that it is a business run by Cubans.

At least 19 tornadoes were recorded in central and southern Florida hours before Hurricane Milton made landfall on the night of October 9 as a Category 3 hurricane, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.

Since Wednesday morning, the Miami weather service (NWS) had issued a tornado alert for South Florida that would be in effect until 9:00 p.m. local time; that is, shortly after the time Milton made landfall, which was around 8:30 p.m. near Siesta Key, south of Tampa.

"While we remain on the northeast side of #Milton today, the threat of some tornadoes continues. Have a way to receive alerts!" the meteorological entity wrote on X, sharing a map that illustrated even the extensive area that could be at risk of tornadoes throughout the day.

The videos of the tornadoes were later joined by some terrifying scenes that showed the tornadoes recorded from the inside, such as one recorded right in Fort Myers by a surveillance camera.

According to the latest count by the authorities, at least 13 people have died in Florida due to Hurricane Milton: five in St. Lucie County, three in Volusia, and two in Pinellas, according to local authorities.

Rescue teams continue to search for victims among the rubble, and authorities are assessing the damage left by the storm, which has caused flooding and uprooted trees, electrical poles, and roofs.

"The total reconstruction will take a long time. It will require several billion dollars," acknowledged President Joe Biden.
