A possible tornado damaged an apartment roof and sent debris flying near the Barlett Park area in St. Petersburg, located just south of the downtown area. Pinellas County 911 reported the damage just before 4:30 p.m. to the National Weather Service, the agency said. At the scene, roofing material appeared thrown across the parking lot. Elsewhere, strong thunderstorms brought down tree branches and tore up a backyard awning Tuesday afternoon in the Eagles neighborhood in northwestern Hillsborough County. As of this writing, storm damage across the Tampa Bay area appears to be relatively minimal — mostly tree and some property damage. Forecasters warned throughout the day that a gusty squall line could spawn tornadoes and produce wind gusts to 70 mph.
