Homes this morning and crews are going to each apartment looking for anyone who may be trapped. And this same line of storms left a path of destruction in other southern states. Two died in louisiana where preliminary reports indicate a tornado touched down in convent. You can see a Mobile Home Park there completely destroyed. The storm ripped apart buildings and tossed around cars. An incredible scene there. Emergency crews estimate more than a hundred homes and rvs are damaged or demolished. And lets get straight to leigh spann because this storm is headed towards our area. Yeah, its knocking on our door at the this point. And now the tornado watch which means that conditions are setting up that we could see an isolated tornado and strong wind, that goes until 10 00 a. M. For sumpter, citrus, hernando and pasco counties. I talked about it. During the early morning, things would be dry. It passed through the panhandle florida and up toward the carolinas. In fact, right around the gain
Showers so far, we do not have a tornado outbreak in the future, but we expect to see heavy downpours, gusty winds. This is the tornado that developed fast across escambia county, the far northwestern part of the panhandle hitting a very rural area. 12 homes damaged, an elderly lady was rescued from debris. They are still doing surveys. We all know the strength of this by tomorrow. Could be an ef3 tornado, a pretty big storm for central or north florida. Let me show you the latest right now. The main storm for us will come through tomorrow night, downpours developing ahead of that mainline, i think between 1 00 and 4 00 in our western zones, twin 2 00 and six 2 00 for the i4 court or.

But nothing like we saw across the panhandle. Neverless still dealing with heavy rainfall here. As far as the biggest impact, so far has been just Power Outages that weve had to deal with. Probably more from lightning strikes over the last several hours.

As far as futurecast, watch what happens, this really races east and then by the time we get to lun
We begin tonight with breaking news. Were just getting word that several tornadoes have touched down in the pensacola area. Our abc anil yate there telling buildings there in pensacola.
