This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at USF chapter.
As everyone knows, severe weather has been reported in and around Tampa and a storm cell socked the USF campus, making the tornado alarms go off. A lot of classes were canceled and tornados and funnel clouds have been spotted all over the Tampa Bay area and even I couldn’t make it to my morning classes because a tornao touched down on U.S. 41, my route to the Tampa campus.
Make sure you stay informed by checking USF.edu often for storm updates. In the mean-time, check out discussion on the storm from uSF students:
