A story developing in Florida this afternoon: A tornado or serious thunderstorm struck Lakeland, Florida today during one of the more prominent air shows in the country. James Wiebe provided the photo above.

There are more images here. An interview with a person on the scene here.

Was it a tornado? You usually don't see a thunderstorm rip an engine out of an airplane.
