‘Amazing’ moment Florida tornado makes home go vertical with 76-yr-old inside

This is yet another reminder to be grateful for every moment.

Footage of a tornado in Largo, Florida, shows the wild moment a home was lifted nearly entirely off the ground for several seconds before it fell back to earth. Of course, those seconds likely felt like a millennium to the 76-year-old woman who was reportedly inside during the entire ordeal.

The scene was captured by a Ring camera and shared with AccuWeather on X:

The woman inside reportedly survived, but no further details were given. X users commented on the footage and the weather patterns that can cause such an event.

It must have been terrifying.

Mobile home not tied down it appears. It could have ended up 3 miles away, but they got lucky.

Lucky indeed.

According to RAWSALERTS, the storm appeared with little warning and “ripped the roofs off nearly 20 homes, uprooted trees, shattered windows, and scattered debris across lawns, driveways, and streets like confetti. Emergency crews rushed to the scene within minutes to assess the widespread damage, check for gas leaks, and ensure residents were safe. Miraculously, despite the chaos and destruction, no injuries have been reported.”
