NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. (WFLA) - Severe weather moved through the Tampa Bay area Sunday morning, leaving damage behind in some communities.
Pasco was one of several counties placed under a tornado warning. The warning has since been lifted, but the weather that swept through did damage in parts of the county - specifically New Port Richey.
Pasco firefighters responded to Atis Street shortly after the tornado warning was lifted.
Pictures from the scene show several trees knocked over and live wires on the ground.
One photo shows a tree down on top of an SUV.
Firefighters also had to put out at least two small fires. One of the fires was caused by an outside meter box catching fire.
A spokesman for Pasco Fire Rescue says no injuries have been reported. Firefighters are now waiting for power companies to respond and address the live wires that were knocked down in the area.
