The first I have seen from it. There have been a few TVS NE of the waring area. Now I am seeing some Mesos just off shore so there could be some waterspouts out there as well.

I was just watching CNN, and MESO warnings were popping up all over the outer band, saw at least 6-7 pop up. Fortunately none lasted very long, the weatherperson didn't mention or go into detail about the picture behind her, kinda wierd.
