Did You See This Waterspout?

All eyes were on the sky Monday evening as a waterspout moved through Hillsborough and Pinellas counties.

The tight funnel cloud could be seen spinning in the sky from throughout the Westchase, Oldsmar and Dunedin areas causing some to think it may be a tornado. Just after 6 p.m. the National Weather Service confirmed that the cloud was indeed a water spout.

“We’ve had a lot of calls,” National Weather Service meteorologist Rodney Wynn told Patch on Monday about the waterspout. 

The waterspout caused damage to at least one home in Oldsmar.

The resident of the home at 422 Shore Drive left her home when she saw the waterspout make its way into the neighborhood. No injuries were reported.

"It was a pretty intense waterspout but fortunately for us it was minor and nobody was injured," said Dean O'Nale, Oldsmar Fire and EMS Chief.
