Fire officials and utility workers are on the scene working on restoring power lines in the area of Trilby Road in Pasco County. A large tree was blown over by strong winds and landed on the power lines.

The top of David Hink’s barn was ripped away by strong winds. Hink was inside his rural Dade City home Saturday when the storm came through.

 “Wind got really bad and it was like a white out almost. Then I heard a crunching sound,” said Hink.

 Parts of the roof were found scattered up to 800 yards away but thanks to neighbors it’s now all cleaned up.

“Made a couple phone calls and people come out of the wood-work, people take care of each other out here,” said Hink.

All of their animals were outside of the barn at the time and weren’t hurt.

Those who live in the neighborhood say they are lucky their homes haven't been damaged.

"Really it was pretty intense, alot of wind a lot of rain.. I take care of this house over here and my house, there is not really any damage," said David Oliver, who witnessed the storm.

There are also reports of a damaged barn nearby and a leaning utility pole along US Hwy 41, north of State Route 52.

TECO's web site shows about 2,000 customers without power and an estimated restore time around 6:30 p.m.

Emergency responders had traffic blocked off for about an hour this afternoon until a cable line that had blown across the road was cut and moved out of the way.

Hernando and Pasco counties are no longer under a Severe Thunderstorm Warning or Flood Advisory.
