My house did not have any damage. It passed just south. But I do have a really weird story with the tornado. You have to be careful to not be anywhere close to a tornado.

Here is some video of the tornado that I think is from when it crossed the Howard Frankland bridge over Tampa Bay. (I-275 goes across it) This seems to be on the Pinellas County side of the bridge. I live just north of the northern most bridge, the Courtney Campbell Causeway. This was over the bridge south of the one I live north of. It's the central bridge of the three bridges that go over the bay.

I didn't see the tornado and it was never windy at my house. I think I am about 1.5 miles west-northwest of the instruments at Tampa International Airport. The highest wind, from hourly readings there, was 15mph a little earlier in the day. 12mph in the hour the tornado passed to the south.

We found a large piece of fiberglass in our yard today.

It was about 2.5 by 3 feet. It was lightweight, but had sharp jagged edges. My dad broke it apart before I took a picture of it. It was not there before the tornado. It makes no sense that someone would drop it in our side yard. It was dropped amongst some of our plumeria. If someone had thrown it from the neighbor's yard, they would have had to toss it into the plumeria. In the only direction they could have done that from, there is a large spider web. It was there previously. Unless someone threw it there, well into our side yard, more in the backyard actually, the spider would have had to build it back today. To throw it from the other side of the plumeria, from our yard, would be exceptionally weird. No one would travel into basically our backyard to throw something there. If it was by boat, they would have had to get out of the boat and walk several dozen feet. It just doesn't make sense. The only thing that makes sense is that the tornado deposited it. It was not windy enough to pick something up like that around here and there is nothing it could have just slid off of.

My house is about 2.7 miles north (349 degrees) of the end point that they have for the Pinellas County tornado. (Preliminary info about it: https://www.weather.gov/media/tbw/2020/PNS_Tor_121620.txt)

I drew a yellow circle where I am located (just to the right of the top picture, just to the left of Tampa International Airport):

It wasn't there two weeks ago when I took a picture of that area of my yard. There were a few other little pieces of stuff but I don't know if it was there before.

And then this was in the canal, but we have weird stuff floating around sometimes. You would never want to go swimming in this water.

Finding the fiberglass is very weird. The tornado still had a signature on radar when it passed by to the south of me, it just wasn't on the ground. I was watching TV and they were tracking it in real time, radar scan by scan. There was definitely rotation in the upper levels when it passed by me. I assume that this is something it picked up in Pinellas County and deposited in my yard. (Unless a car or truck was carrying pieces across the bridge.)

The preliminary info from the Tampa Bay NWS says the tornado ended at 4:11pm.

Here are some screenshots of video on Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/WFLANewsChannel8/videos/739122790037544 ), which is what I was watching on TV at the time the tornado went by. You can see some of the time stamps. The second tornado warning box further west expired at 4:15pm. They reissued it with new warning box.

That seems to be in Pinellas, looking across the bay toward Hillsborough County and the storm cell the tornado was in.

I guess that piece of fiberglass must have floated down and landed in my yard. It was intact, and it didn't break any plumeria limbs on the way down, so I guess it kind of floated down. It was sharp though. Had someone been standing there at the time, that could have been very dangerous. Even almost 3 miles away perhaps, I got debris. Anyone ever deciding to go out and get pictures could be putting themselves in danger. I was just looking out the window. I was looking out that way later on too, but I guess I missed it lying on the ground in the middle of some plumeria. I was looking at the dark sky toward the southeast at that point.

Where it was in my yard:

And satellite view of where in my yard it was, closer to canal. The yellow circle is where the fiberglass was and the green circle is where the small piece of foam was:

You can see why there seems to be no other explanation!
