A 300-foot-wide tornado with winds reaching 100 mph touched down in St. Petersburg Thursday afternoon, and local officials praised first responders for their quick response.
Lt. Garth Swingle with St. Petersburg Fire Rescue (SPFR) told the Catalyst that several trees fell on homes along 9th Avenue North, between 58th Street and 49th Street, and the All Children’s Academy. Despite the damage, he was still unaware of any reported injuries Friday.
