It was rough up here by the shop. We supposedly had 2-3 tornados touch down within 10-15 miles from here, which definitely made for an interesting day.

Had a huge ******* limb fall on my house and put three holes (about 10" round each) in the roof had to get the chainsaw up there to cut it up so we could even move it and another destroyed the roof on my shed. There is many other limbs down but they seemed to miss everything thank GOD. I work right beside the Lakeland airport where the Sun N Fun fly in is at and OMFG we thought the building was going to come apart and when I say beside it I mean the fence behind our building is the end of the runway!!!

BUT THE CAR MADE IT!!!!!!!!

Had some smaller branches down here about an hour north of Tampa. Got a few inches of water in the pool though, good stuff, it was getting kinda low.

Oh yeah and the college cancelled classes yesterday, that was kinda nice.

My buddy came by today and said yesterday was "traumatic".He was a helper at Sun N Fun and had his motorhome parked next to the restroom building all week.When they said tornadoes on the way he left about noon and between noon and 1pm the **** hit the fan. Planes flipped over ,cars on top of planes,the restroom building was leveled. Someone was watching out for him.....We had at least 8 inches of rain here.
