A tornado watch is in effect until 7 p.m. for Manatee, Sarasota, Hillsborough, Pinellas, Polk and several other Florida counties.

The watch was issued as an area of storms began sweeping through central Florida Thursday morning.

The watch had been issued Thursday morning for dozens of Florida counties throughout central and southern Florida as a line of storms moved across the state. A Tornado Warning was briefly issued in Pinellas County, spurred by the indication of a funnel cloud off the coast, but expired without incident.

I was at my diet class at the Y and they announced there was a tornado warning and a funnel cloud had been spotted off the coast. The Y was closing and everyone had to leave.I'm certainly glad I live very close as I would not want to have to drive very far thinking there could be a tornado.I invited a few others from the class who live farther away to come to my house but they were just going to mosey on home. They are braver than i . my DH was very glad to see me as he had the TV on with the warnings and the building that houses our Y is essentially just a pole building so it would not be a safe place to be.
