There also were quarter-size hail, trees downed and power outages in Lake County, specifically in the Sorrento/Mount Plymouth area. At 8 p.m., although the storms were dissipating, Channel 9 viewers were still reporting power outages in this region.

There was a funnel cloud spotted in Winter Spring, though there was no touchdown. Our WFTV Weather team received many pictured of ominous clouds, some looked like funnel clouds, but were really scud clouds.
These thunderstorms are typical of summertime in Central Florida. We have the humidity, the heat and sea breezes, which almost every day may develop strong to severe thunderstorms that can last through the early evening.
