Witnesses describe shock when they spotted Broward twister – NBC 6 South Florida

Alexander Corris made the split-second decision to turn his car around when he realized a tornado was directly in his path.

“I can’t believe what I’m seeing,” Corris said. “It is dead before us. 100 percent a tornado on the ground.”

Corris was driving along Interstate 595 and Nob Hill Road in Davie on his way to a doctor's appointment when he spotted a tornado around 10:15 a.m. Wednesday morning.

Outer bands of Hurricane Milton brought tornadoes to Broward County on Wednesday.

“I said, 'Listen, we're doing a U-turn,'” Corris told his children. “We’re not going to the appointment. I don’t know where this thing is going.”

Christine Marr was also driving when she received repeated emergency warnings and then saw a tornado out the window.

“We say, ‘Oh no, where are we going? Where are we going?' And then all of a sudden we turn around and look, and there's this huge tornado next to us,” Marr said.

She was in the process of evacuating St. Petersburg and was driving along Alligator Alley near US 27 when she felt the wind pick up.

“I’m trying to hold on,” she said. “You can feel the car shaking.”
