(CNN) -- Severe weather tore across central Florida on Thursday, trapping about 70 people at an airport in Lakeland, Florida and spawning an apparent tornado in Tampa, the National Weather Service said.
Approximately 70 people were reported trapped in a collapsed building at the Sun 'n' Fun aviation fair at the Lakeland Linder Regional Airport in Florida due to severe winds, the weather service said. CNN affiliate Bay News 9 said "preliminary reports" were that a hangar at the airport had collapsed. Additional details were not immediately available.
The Sun 'n Fun International Fly-In & Expo is a six-day aviation themed festival that provides the primary source of funding for SUN 'n FUN, a non-profit organization, and its wholly owned subsidiary, the Florida Air Museum.
In Tampa, meanwhile, an apparent tornado touched down in Hillsborough County, parts of which were under a tornado warning that the weather service issued at 11:51 a.m. The warning covered parts of Hillsborough as well as parts of Polk County.
A photo on the website of Bay News 9 showed an overturned airplane at the St. Petersburg / Clearwater airport. The affiliate also broadcast images of damaged street signs and billboards as high winds swept through much of the region.
