I'm just patting myself on the back for doing that,' Khanna said. While Wellington was not in the direct path of Hurricane Milton, the home suffered minimal damage from one of the dozens of tornadoes created by Milton across Florida. </figcaption></figure><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=2qivoP_0wBoZ1Ut00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=2qivoP_0wBoZ1Ut00" width="962" height="655" ><figcaption>Houses across Wellington, however, were seen with shredded roofs, cars were destroyed, and homes were torn apart. One Florida resident, Sam Rider, told The Palm Beach Post how his son clutched onto his arm when Rider was lifted in the air, off his feet, as the storm surged through his home. </figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1LdmP8_0wBoZ1Ut00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1LdmP8_0wBoZ1Ut00" width="962" height="580" ><figcaption>Rider told the outlet: 'It's been very emotional.
