Description
People who live at the corner of 17th Ave South and 6th Street South in St. Petersburg spent the entire day cleaning up after the storm.
Colon Thomas said he was home when an EF-0 tornado made its way through south St. Pete.
“Everything was so fast," Thomas said. "I saw it in the air and we tried to come around but the water and everything was so high and everybody was telling me to get back.”
Downed power lines and parts of the roof are now sitting in puddles of water. One building is without power due to roofing material hanging on a line.
Thomas said that's just what you can see from the outside.
“I do know we have a leak over here on the roof and I got stuff on my floor,” Thomas said.
St. Pete Mayor Ken Welch stopped by to see it firsthand and hear from neighbors.
“Our focus is to work with Duke Energy and try to get electricity back on as soon as possible and there's some other issues that the folks have brought forward that we're going to address,” he said.
