ZEPHYRHILLS, Fla. (WFLA) — Tampa Bay area residents were left cleaning up debris and checking for storm damage after severe weather swept through the area on Tuesday.
Pasco County Fire Rescue crews responded to the Sundance Mobile Home Park located on Eagles Nest Drive in Zephyrhills after strong winds and storms ripped the roof off a mobile home.
WFLA viewer Billy Wilson shared several photos and videos of fire rescue crews removing the displaced roof. In one of the photos, a singular light pole appeared to be the only thing stopping the roof from flying away.
