(Viewer submitted)LAKELAND (FOX 13) -
New video shot by a Winter Haven
man is giving us a better look at Sunday's tornado that ripped through the area
near Legoland.
The county reported moderate to significant damage to several homes in the
area, including Lake
Alfred, the 400 block of
Terra Nova and the 500 block of Lake
Florence Drive South.
At this point, there are no reported injuries.
But the video shows the tornado was quickly moving across the area, and it
was disrupting power lines.
In Lakeland, police said there were downed power lines, trees and major wind
damage to several houses, but there were no reported injuries.
Power outages were spread across neighborhoods in Bartow and Lake Ashton
as well. Some of those outages included Bartow Regional
Medical Center,
though the facility says power has since been restored.

Rescue will provide sandbags for residents who may need them. Sites will be
