1. What is that? Is that a normal storm track?

[A HERETIC I AM]

2. Yeah. Just a long line of thunderstorms coming in off the Gulf.

Already a tornado warning for areas northeast of Ft. Myers.

3. I'm getting 2" of rain per hour according to the news.

It's been pretty bad for the last couple hours (Tampa).

6. Is it pretty windy? Any tornado warnings in the bay area? n/t

[flvegan]

7. Yup.

Hillsborough, Pinellas, Manatee (I think) all under a hurricane warning until I think 4am. Wind right now isn't TOO bad.

8. Just now on the ABC affiliate Tornado warning for DeSoto and several other counties.

9. Ah, the news here

was only talking about viewing area. Oddly they said that Hernando and Citrus were out of the woods. Bad reporting to say the least, in this case.

4. I sure do not miss those storms.

Take care, A HERETIC I AM!

5. My kid in Winter Park just texted that it's only light rain, no wind.

Pretty close to I-4.

10. Well you guys all stay safe and send some rain to So Cal. nt

11. The radar shows it all well north of I-4 now, passing over De Land.

Orlando area is mostly out of it.

12. My friend in the Temple Terrace Area

Is right in the line of fire. Fun night for her and her kitties. :(

13. Weather blurb on the TV said it will likely last till Saturday...

down this way. Not the thunderstorms, but "unsettled" weather.

Hope your friend has her hatches battened!

14. Marriage Equality failed in NYS Senate

A storm is gathering.
