Update: Tornado Warning Lifted but Funnel Clouds Still Possible

The National Weather Service says the threat has diminished but residents should stay alert.

The National Weather Service in Ruskin has lifted its tornado warning for southeast Hilllsborough County, saying the threat has diminished. However, the weather service added that funnel clouds still may be possible with this band of showers.

If you are in the path of the tornado, go to a small interior room in a strong and well-constructed building. Cars and mobile homes are not safe. If no shelter is available, lie flat in a ditch or culvert and cover your head with your hands.

To report severe weather to the National Weather Service, call 813-645-2323.
