After severe weather and a confirmed tornado ripped through parts of the Florida Panhandle, causing significant damage in some areas, Gov. Ron DeSantis has issued a state of emergency for 49 counties, including much of the Tampa Bay area. That's because the destructive line of storms is expected to move south, bringing the potential for severe thunderstorms and even tornadoes to Tampa Bay-area counties.
