    Default It's only Feb. What is wrong with this state?

    So i am at work, and a code gets called. "severe weather." Ok, work goes on. We blink a few times with the lights...Maybe went on all generators for a short time, not sure.

    All of a sudden all hell breaks lose! Fucking tornadoes spawing all around.

    Brevard got hit bad. No one was killed. We had 2 found in their homes after the weather calmed. Police/firemen go door to door checking on people.

    Driving home tonite, i had garbage cans, branches and other crap all over the roads. Some parts of my area has no power. One stop light was hanging.

    I mean damn..... I hope all in my area are just fine. Property and all, as alot stil don't have their roofs repaired yet either.

    Nice way to start the year....February???? 3 touched down that i hear from the news at this time. Could have only been 2 it seems.

    Im sorry that is some crazy weather....I dont like outside elements unless it has to do w/ sunshine.

    I hope you stay safe though.

    It started as rain they had in the forecast. Then it turned severe..just like that. The hospital i work for has to know these things, so i was like ok, some heavy rain. But for about 15 minutes you could not walk near our doors and see anything. The wind was sooo friggin bad a few times. We had one hit in my city, but not as bad as the people 10 minutes south of me.

    One guys roof went, and police went door to door, and found many many plants! lol. with lights to grow them and the owner was not home, so HELLO...when the owner gets home.

    Neighbours said he went to Miami.

    Ive lived in Florida all my life on and off, and the weather is so unpredictable there. Of course I was up in the panhandle, Crestview, much closer to Alabama. I enjoyed the weather most of the time. But it is very unpredictable.

    Well I know the weather is bad dawn there sometimes, but I'm glad to know your OK.

    It's just as crazy here in Kentucky, We have a saying around here: If you don't like the weather give it 15 min, and it will change.

    Down in the deep Southeast tornado outbreaks during the winter months aren't all that unusual. The air temperatures combined with the moist air are perfectly ideal for that kind of weather.

    Believe it or not, amongst the 50 states Florida actually ranks fourth in the average annual number of tornadoes right behind more obvious targets like Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. Its not just those pesky hurricanes that are sweet on you folks down there.


    Sorry about the mess and the big scare. I've been through one twister and let me tell you, the reality lives up to the hype. Just glad no one got killed.

    Wow, and I was just thinking about moving back to Florida. I think I'll stay in Cali for a little while longer. I'm very glad you're okay though, that had to be so scarey.

    I'm glad everyone is ok. I was in Orlando for a convention, so all we got was a lot of rain. My neighborhood seemed ok as far as I know. I didnt even KNOW there was any tornado activity until you made this post!

    I'm still SO not used to Florida weather. Egads.
