Thousands of Floridians Frantically Instagram and Tweet Thunderstorm
A strong line of thunderstorms swept across southern and central Florida this afternoon, prompting the National Weather Service to issue severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings for some areas. A funnel cloud was spotted over the Tampa area earlier this afternoon, but the big threat with the storms is strong winds, heavy rain, and a veritable flood of social media posts documenting the imminent doom.
There is a huge storm coming
