Though the Fort Myers area was hit hard as Hurricane Milton carved a path of destruction across Florida late Wednesday night, the Red Sox spring training facility weathered the storm with minimal damage.

“JetBlue Park saw minimal wind and water damage during Hurricane Milton and did not lose power at the ballpark throughout the storm,” the Red Sox announced Thursday morning. “Lee County will stage 2,000 rescue workers at JetBlue Park over the next two weeks to aid in clean-up efforts in and around the Fort Myers area.”

Milton made landfall near Siesta Key as a major Category 3 hurricane, bringing sustained winds of 120 mph as it slammed into Florida’s west coast. The most powerful parts of the storm affected Tampa Bay and the area immediately to the south, including Sarasota and Bradenton, but areas further down the coast also experienced storm surge, in some places as high as 8-10 feet.

Tropicana Field, home of the Tampa Bay Rays, experienced significant damage in the storm, with the stadium’s roof being ripped to tatters.

Florida’s west coast, including Fort Myers, also experienced substantial flooding just a few weeks ago when Hurricane Helene swept up through the Gulf of Mexico and into Florida’s big bend region to the north. JetBlue Park also avoided significant damage from that storm, and ahead of Milton’s arrival the Red Sox confirmed that the site was closed to players, coaches and staff to ensure their safety.
