Twenty-three homes have been ravaged by a powerful tornado in Cape Coral, Florida on Sunday. No deaths or injuries have been reported. Meanwhile, tropical storm Claudette came ashore in Florida panhandle early Monday.
Cape police spokeswoman Connie Barron says the tornado touched down Sunday afternoon, causing more than $100,000 in damage to 11 of the homes. No injuries were reported, but clean up could take weeks. Roof shingles, pool screens, glass and trash cans littered throughout the neighborhood.
Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Claudette (map above) has come ashore in the panhandle of Florida, where it has begun to weaken. High winds and heavy rains are the main story down there. The storm's remnants are expected to drop 3 to 6 inches of rain - and in spots up to 10 inches - along a path through Alabama, Mississippi, and reaching inland as far as Tennessee in the next few days.
