Tornado Strikes Central Florida, Disrupts Live TV Broadcast
A severe EF-2 tornado struck Central Florida, causing significant destruction and chaos. The tornado made landfall near Seminole County, demolishing homes and flipping a semi-truck while passing directly over the FOX 35 Orlando TV station during a live weather broadcast. Footage captured the dramatic moment as anchors took cover under their desks while continuing to report on the situation. Fortunately, there were no serious injuries reported; however, a home in Longwood collapsed with two individuals inside. As tornado warnings were issued across the state, officials urged residents to remain vigilant and prepared for rapidly changing weather conditions.
