Security Camera Video Severe Weather

This is a short movie clip of what seemed like a small tornado swirling through the front parking of a metal recycling facility in Tarpon Springs, FL.

On 09-19-06 around 5:00pm, we were watching a line of showers approaching from the west when suddenly a group of trees across the street began to sway violently.

Leaves swirled into the air like a rotating swarm of locusts. In seconds, the violent winds were on us, and this video shows what happened.

Interestingly, we saw no funnel cloud or any evidence of the impending violent winds other than the trees.

Thankfully, nobody was injured in the event. It could have easily been otherwise.
