Storms wreck havoc in Florida this morning
This is all just coming in, but so far reports are that 14 have been killed by tornadoes near Orlando today.
More when I get it.

Looks like the tornado(s) hit around Lady Lake, Florida.
Red Cross chapters around Florida are starting to respond, and the State EOC is at Level 1 activation, full activation. Several counties have been signed as State of Emergency and search and rescue is currently going on.

That's what I was talking about in the weather thread I started. New Smyrna Beach was hit pretty hard as well, so was DeLand.

For some reason I thought you created the thread yesterday, which is why I created this thread. My apologies.
The funny thing is that now that the damage has been done, more people will move into the area. It always happens.

Dang
We had 6 inches of rain here in North Marion county as a line of heavy thunder storms trained over us for hours last nite. They stayed over us and then started moving south and intensified further and moved faster into these areas where the fatalities occurred.
25 years ago almost to the date, I was in a tornado here which luckly for me bounced over my singlewide and sheared all the tops of the trees and dropped them around my 8 by 30 ft trailer. I knew something wus up when I was hearing non stop thunder in February. When the tornado bounced over me there was a greenish light to the air and some of my windows were broken by flying limbs
My neighbors who lived on a hilltop wernt as lucky. The tornado got down on the ground at their place and killed two of them.
I gots a 12 wide trailer now and it is pertected by Fung Shoe so I aint that worried no more.
