Tornadoes and severe thunderstorms thrash the Florida panhandle

A line of strong and severe thunderstorms pushed across the Florida panhandle Friday morning, leaving a path of destruction from tornadoes and winds topping 70 miles per hour in some storms. As the storms rolled through Tallahassee, hundreds of trees toppled over or snapped in half. The Florida Division of Emergency Management said the storms followed the I-10 corridor and left not only destruction but widespread power outages. Earlier Friday, more than 60,000 residents were reportedly without power due to the damage caused by the severe weather.
