BAY AREA -Seven people were injured when high wind knocked a tent over at the Florida State Fairgrounds.
Firefighters said the people were all taken to a local hospital for treatment. Four of the people had minor injuries, while the other three have injuries that are more serious.
Fire rescue spokesman Ray Yeakley said none of the injuries are life-threatening.
Witnesses said a big gust of wind upended the 50-foot food tent, which then slammed on the ground and collapsed.
Between 40 and 50 people were inside the tent at the time.
