As chilling footage of the storm circulates online, the Mayor of Tampa Jane Castor has told residents that they need to stay indoors.
She said at a press conference: "Please, please stay inside until we can get out there with our teams to assess the damage and make sure it's safe for you to go back out into your community or to re-enter your neighbourhood.

"But it's not over... when high tide comes in rivers are going to flood."

"Then, just as quickly, the winds and rain begin again, but this time from the opposite direction."
