Tornado Spotted on Florida Traffic Cam Shocks Commuters, Leaves Path of Damage
Hey everyone, have you seen the footage coming out of St. Johns County, Florida? It's wild. A traffic camera actually caught what appears to be a tornado spinning its way right through a busy intersection—and it's got people talking. This all happened on Thursday, and honestly, the video is pretty surreal.
The clip was captured at the intersection of State Road 9B and St. Johns Parkway. If you look closely, you can see the twister enter the frame in the top right corner. It doesn't hang around long, but in that short moment, you can see just how intense and real it was. It’s one thing to hear about a tornado—it's a whole other experience to see one threading its way across a road you've probably driven down yourself.

Now, here’s the good news: no one was injured, which feels like a miracle considering how sudden and potentially dangerous these things can be. The St. Johns County Sheriff's Office confirmed there were no injuries reported. But even with that silver lining, the storm didn’t pass through without leaving a mark.
Trees were downed. Power lines snapped. A local restaurant even reported damage. You can imagine the chaos that could’ve erupted in just those few moments. The National Weather Service has stepped in to conduct a storm survey to get a better idea of the tornado's full impact—especially across northern St. Johns County.
What's most striking about this whole incident is just how close this came to being worse. It’s a reminder that these weather events don’t always give you time to react. Imagine sitting in your car at that intersection, glancing up, and seeing a funnel cloud coming your way. It’s the kind of thing you hope you never experience but always need to be prepared for.
This tornado, whether officially confirmed or not, was real enough to cause damage and real enough to rattle an entire community. So, if you're in Florida—or honestly anywhere prone to storms—this is your wake-up call to stay aware and be ready. Make sure alerts are enabled on your phone, know where to shelter, and don’t underestimate the power of these storms, even if they seem brief.
Stay safe out there, and keep an eye on the skies.
