Exclusive | Tom Cruise can rest easy as his Florida Penthouse survived Hurricane Milton unscathed

Tom Cruise can breathe a sigh of relief after his luxury condo in Clearwater, Florida, stood tall against potentially devastating Hurricane Milton.

The mega-storm, which meteorologists initially warned could reach a catastrophic Category 5, ended up sparing Cruise’s prized multimillion-dollar property. The hurricane was predicted to wreak havoc on the city, raising fears of a deadly storm surge and intense flooding.

But according to Florida’s governor. Ron DeSantis, the storm weakened just before landfall, easing concerns.

“The storm was significant, but thankfully it wasn’t the worst-case scenario,” DeSantis said at a Thursday briefing. He noted that Tampa even experienced a rare reverse storm, which diverted water away from the city instead of flooding it.

Photos obtained by The Post show Cruise’s Clearwater penthouse, located just blocks from the international headquarters of the Church of Scientology, appeared intact after the storm passed.

The massive 20,000-square-foot building, which Cruise has called home since 2018, features two floors of luxury, complete with a 39-foot rooftop lap pool, a private car elevator and a flight simulator.

The actor, known for his high-octane roles, even has an infinity pool, a hot tub and an outdoor dining area – all of which came through the storms unscathed.

Cruise was in London when the hurricane hit. He was spotted arriving in the UK looking distressed just a day before Milton was due to land.

The “Top Gun” star bought the luxury Clearwater pad in 2016 after selling his Beverly Hills mansion for $39 million.

Cruise’s penthouse was the brainchild of millionaire Scientologist Moises Agami, who originally planned to offer more affordable units in the building. However, as the development progressed, those plans were shifted and SkyView became home to Cruise’s luxury apartment.

His Florida residence, part of the SkyView complex, is not only luxurious, but also close to Scientology headquarters – a big draw for the actor, who is one of the church’s most prominent members.

The church headquarters, like Cruise’s penthouse, escaped the hurricane unscathed.

In a statement to The Post, the Church of Scientology emphasized their preparedness: “We are taking Hurricane Milton very seriously and have completed all preparations to secure our staff, parishioners and neighbors,” the organization said before the hurricane hit. “This includes boarding up all windows and vulnerable access to our properties and those of all shops in the town center area.”

Cruise’s move to Clearwater was part of a significant shift in his real estate portfolio.

In the years leading up to his move, he unloaded several high-profile properties, including a home in New York City and his sprawling estate in Colorado.
