Default Everyone okay from this mornings storms? Central Florida.

Wife woke me up at 7:00 am this morning to the tv being on and saying for me to get dressed. Major storms ran through Central Florida this morning, and there was a tornado with 100 mph winds that came through.

We didn't get any damage. but I was scared for my baby sitting outside!!! After yesterday's cruise I just pulled into the drive-way and didn't think about pulling it into the garage, so with all the rain, wind, and trees swaying acting like they were about to come down, it had my nerves seriously on edge.

Anyways, hope everyone in Central Florida made it through this morning okay.

I hear ya on being worried about your car. I felt the same way.

Glad to hear you're OK. I heard Deltona and Orange City got it bad.

Wasn't too bad here. Just some big wind gusts once in a while.

I live in Mt Dora and the radar was showing the storm right over us when my wife woke me up. It really wasn't that bad, just some rain. I sat out under the covered patio and sipped a cup of coffe while it blew through.

Pool overflowed and a few tree branches in the yard, but overall ok. It just pissed me off to be waken up that early. I was gonna sleep in today.

Yeah the tornado in Pasco was crazy, my Mom said on the radio they thought a tornado touched down, only to find out the jail had been leveled. Only had a bunch of rain/thunder/lightning here in Spring Hill.
