CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) — A storm system that moved across parts of Florida early Thursday left a path of damage to cars, houses and businesses, authorities said.
The storms moved north into Citrus County, where officials canceled public school classes for the day.
“The west side of Citrus County has experienced significant damage from an unconfirmed tornado(s) which hit the area overnight,” school officials said in a Facebook post shortly after 6 a.m. Thursday.
Photos posted by the sheriff`s office showed debris on roads, local flooding and damage to mobile homes.
Dunedin, in Pinellas County, also was hit, with heavy damage to homes and businesses, the Tampa Bay Times reported.
Some tornado watches remained in effect Thursday morning across parts of central and north Florida.
