PINELLAS PARK, Fla. — Cleanup has started across a three-county Bay area stretch that saw severe weather, including a tornado, on Wednesday.
Homes and businesses were damaged, mainly in Pinellas and Polk counties, and some residents were in the dark late into the night as power lines were knocked downed across the region.

A witness to the storm in Pinellas Park said it was unlike anything she had ever seen before.
"I started to see cars start to move,” said Coral Churchill. “Trees flying over the building, just like nothing you've ever seen before."
Duke Energy crews worked throughout the night to restore power to residents.
Officials said more than 25 power poles need to be repaired or replaces and at one point, about 14,000 customers were without power.
Those numbers were reduced to the low hundreds by this morning.
