Good morning from the ABC Action News team.
Yesterday was just the latest in the summer storms that the Tampa Bay area has been experiencing over the past few days. Largo even saw significant damage after a tornado ripped through the area. Some residents from Ranchero Village, a mobile home park, described it as a "freight train," which sent debris flying. While our morning will start off dry today, we'll see more storms later this evening. Maybe consider planning a night in?
