Storms leave trail of damage from Pinellas Park to Polk County
Josh Cascio and Evan Axelbank report
PINELLAS PARK, Fla. - Warehouses and buildings along Endeavor Way, near 66th Street in Pinellas Park, suffered significant damage after a tornado tore through a two-mile span of Pinellas County early Wednesday evening.
Car windows were shattered, and businesses had walls ripped down. An 18-wheeler was knocked over on its side and roofs from large buildings laying up against fences.
We spoke to one office worker who said the bad storm turned into one that felt potentially deadly very quickly.
“The power went out and within 90 seconds it was on us. It just blew the doors in, took half the roof off, it was an extreme experience, nothing I have ever gone through before,” Danny Wilcox, with Southern Lock and Supply told FOX 13 News. “We all took off to the inner room to the building to make sure we were safe. Fortunately, No one in the building got hurt.”
