The last two evenings have brought pop-up storms just around sunset. Wind gusts were measured at Tampa airport last night no higher than 35 mph. Other weather stations around the city reported gusts slightly higher.
Residents of Blvd 3 were surprised to wake up to a carport roof in front of a house near the Sunset intersection.
The wind tore the carport roof off a house on Blvd 2, which apparently struck the antenna on the house before it flew over to Blvd 3.

Ed Scobee asks all residents to check their roofs, and awnings for rusty fittings before the hurricane season goes into high gear. Also trim trees and shrubs away from your roofline to avoid wind damage. Its a shame to see the power of just a little ol' thunderstorm.
