Severe storms tore across the Sunshine State on Thursday, with at least one tornado leaving a trail of damage across one town on the Florida Panhandle.
In Hosford, Florida, doppler radar indicated a tornado touched down, which snapped trees, damaged power lines and damaged homes.
The town is less than an hour’s drive outside of Tallahassee, and PowerOutage.us reported nearly 80% of Liberty County was without electricity after the storms struck.
Texas has been in the middle of a lot of the severe weather that has happened this week, and Friday will continue that trend.

However, areas near Waco, Dallas and the Oklahoma border face the highest risk in the Lone Star State.
