@local10news: There were reports of a tornado in South Florida on Saturday, and some of it was caught on camera by Local 10 viewers. The tornado formed over land and touched down just west of Las Olas and the Intracoastal Waterway just before 6 p.m. Saturday evening, according to Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue. Authorities said the tornado made contact with some structures, power lines and marine vessels in that immediate area, before appearing to move quickly to the east until it reached the ocean -- no longer impacting land or the Intracoastal. On social media, multiple observers posted cellphone video of a tornado moving over the water on Fort Lauderdale Beach, taken from various angles. The National Weather Service sent a tornado alert around 5:45 p.m. and has seen reports and radar indicating that the tornado was spotted near Federal Highway and Las Olas Boulevard. Local 10 viewers have reported seeing power flashes and heavy winds in the area. Todd Sabata sent cellphone video to Local 10 News of the tornado hurtling east of downtown #FortLauderdale. No injuries have been reported due to the storm as of Saturday evening. A Local 10 News crew was in Fort Lauderdale for the aftermath of the storm where trees were down in some areas, but it didn’t appear as if there was any major damage caused by the tornado. #browardcounty #broward #tornado #twister
