The Tampa Bay area experienced some really nasty weather yesterday, of that there is no doubt. Three tornadoes were reported, but according to official news sources only one was confirmed. After touring a south Tampa neighborhood today I feel comfortable saying that if what hit the Bayshore and Interbay intersection wasn't a tornado it was definitely missing a great opportunity.
Said the security guard for Lykes Lane, "...it just skipped along, bouncing up and down like a rubber ball." Whatever it was caused a lot of damage, took out power, took off roofs, but thankfully caused no human injury. Traffic can move along Bayshore in the Interbay area, but it moves very slowly. Interbay is impassable. It is a mess over there.

We, at the Oracle, consider ourselves to be very lucky. This storm hit about a mile away from us, and the worst weather we had was this:
