The whole experience was pretty awesome and scary at the same time.
If you watch weather enough you will have these awesome and frightening experiences. I have had several, but never involving a funnel cloud. Did see a very large, very odd dust devil out between lakeland and plant city about a year ago. I remember the storm you are referring to as the western edge brushed Plant City that evening. You did the right thing keeping an active weather eye out and reporting what you saw. We live in a very active place with lots of unusual weather phenomena due to those sea breezes and the proximity of so much warm ocean water. Just stay away from the lightning!!
