Description
The National Weather Service confirmed at least two tornadoes tore through parts of the Tampa Bay area overnight Thursday.
One occurred in Clearwater Beach where a beachfront sky cam caught a large waterspout moving near Pier 60. It was suspected — and now confirmed — that the waterspout came ashore as a tornado. Significant damage was reported in a neighborhood north of the main beach.
A second tornado dropped near the Crystal River area in Citrus County, which forced the closure of several roads and the cancellation of all classes for Citrus County Schools.
Neither of these tornadoes has been officially rated on the EF scale.
