NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. (AP) – Several homes were damaged and sporadic power outages reported as severe weather swept through the Tampa Bay area.

In Pasco County, officials on Thursday said some roads were blocked and power lines were down.

Authorities couldn’t immediately confirm if a tornado had touched down. A news release said an aluminum roof was ripped off one home, and a large tree fell on another.

Pasco County spokesman Doug Tobin says the county had reports of 19 homes and businesses with minor damage, five homes and businesses with some structural damage, one tree on a car, a garage door damaged, and car ports torn apart.

No injuries were reported.

In Clearwater, officials said three townhouses were damaged.
