News4Jax got sporadic reports of storm damage from the afternoon of storms. A pine tree snapped in the high winds came through through the roof and a wall of a home in Argyle Forest. No one was home at the time, so there were no injuries.
"The animals were freaking out," said the homeowner when she returned. "I scooped them up from under the bed."
Large limbs were down throughout that neighborhood.
