00:00
So a rare EF2 tornado touched down in this neighborhood just north of Orlando, Florida.
00:06
You can see this home completely destroyed.
00:08
There were two people inside that home when the tornado came through this area about 930
00:13
this morning.
00:14
Thankfully, they were not injured.
00:16
But this is just one of multiple homes in the Longwood area in central Florida that
00:21
had serious or substantial damage from this EF2 tornado.
00:26
Now, the National Weather Service says they were tracking this line of weather from the
00:30
Tampa Bay area early this morning and watched the storms cross the state.
00:34
And as they got into this part of central Florida, they turned into these tornadic storms
00:38
that created this damage.
00:40
We talked to several people that live in this neighborhood, one that witnessed this tornado
00:44
firsthand.
00:45
I heard like a train going by.
00:47
I had my garage door open and I came outside and I seen the wind and it was so scary.
00:54
It was just, you know, I mean, you get scared and then 30, 40 seconds later, it just, you
00:59
know, came down.
01:00
Another homeowner also had substantial damage and his son-in-law came out here early this
01:05
morning to check on them.
01:06
They are OK, but also their home is uninhabitable.
01:10
They took shelter in place and I mean, it was pretty loud and everything.
01:15
But after everything passed, you know, they went outside, their tree had fallen over.
01:19
The neighbor across the street's house was ripped off the top.
01:22
And just as ironic as that storm moved through this area this morning, the sun is out now.
01:28
Blue skies are around, is expected to be a gorgeous afternoon here in the central Florida
01:32
area.
01:33
But many homeowners here will have a long road ahead with lots of cleanup underway as
01:38
crews continue to survey the damage from this tornado that touched down just north of Orlando,
01:43
Florida earlier today.
01:44
Reporting from Longwood, Florida, I'm Leslie Hudson for AccuWeather.
