Im really not liking the TBW radar right now. Its out!

[dizzyfish]

Seems like it is still out this morning too fact.

I hope they get it fixed before the afternoon boomers!

[JonathanBelles]

If not, use the baynews9 one.

It looks like a big blow-up of strong storms is starting to go on in Orange county, FL. I expect warnings to be issued soon as the storms all collide and pulse up.

It is absolutely coming down in buckets! Lots of thunder. 1/2" of rain so far and it has only been raining for about 5 mins. estimate the highest wind gust around 40 so far.

[JonathanBelles]

Im getting torential rain. Flooding all around my house. Had about 4 minutes of very small hail. Close lightning, loud thunder. lost power twice.

[Cookiely]

The hail in Carrollwood was neat. It was deafening bouncing off the metal porch roof of our house. This was the second time I have seen hail in my fifty seven years living in Tampa, and both times within a mile of where I live now.

[HURAKAN]

[feederband]

Not a drop yet,....

[KWT]

That a lot of activity over Florida, I take it the increase in storm is due to the tropical wave that moving into the region from the east?
