Re: Florida Seabreeze and Heat Thread
First glimpse of Fall here in NW FL today. Clear skies with a north wind made it feel really nice today, it was actually cool this morning. Ofcourse this is just a tease, typical summer weather comes back later in the week.

Much more comfortable day today. I got hit with a mini tropical depression earlier. I had quite a scare a couple of times. The first time the sky turned red and a mare's tail came out of the sky, I got a picture of the end of it. Then the rain, a BIG wall of very heavy rain. Then my last scare came when lightning hit no more than a 1/10 of a mile from me. I took some damage from wind, chairs blown around and fence bent over a little, not major. Im gonna go see where that lightning hit, because it was very loud and no more than 15 mins later there were sirens. It was just about as scary as barry, jk, it was scarier than Barry.

Re: Florida Seabreeze and Heat Thread
Pretty widespread damage from the Tornados..Pictures on the link. 
That dang front to the north is just going to bring cooler and drier air to the upper and mid-levels is all for down here and thus increasing servere weather chances..

A fast-moving tornado ripped across southwest Cape Coral on Sunday, knocking out electrical power and causing heavy damage to at least three buildings.
It was one of three funnel clouds that were reported Sunday starting at about 6 p.m. as thunderstorms rolled through and penny-sized hail pelted the area, the National Weather Service said.
One touched down on Fort Myers Beach, while another came up the Caloosahatchee River and struck Cape Coral.
The damage in Cape Coral is mostly bounded by El Dorado Parkway to the south and Veterans Parkway to the north, and Skyline Drive to SW 12th Street, said Cape Coral spokeswoman Connie Barron.
Residents in that area didn’t have power. The Lee County Electric Cooperative reported that about 3,500 residents were without electricity earlier Sunday. At 8 p.m., 2,500 residents were without power.
The hardest-hit area seemed to be a three-block area between Southwest 27th Place and Skyline Boulevard.
Despite the storms’ speed and strength, only one minor injury was reported in Cape Coral, officials said.
This morning, city building inspectors are expected to continue assessing the damage and try to determine whether damaged buildings are structurally sound, Barron said.
“We have six inspectors out working now,” Barron said Sunday. “We’ll know more when daylight comes.”
In all, 43 houses, apartments and other structures were reported damaged Sunday, Cape Coral Fire Chief Bill VanHelden said.
Lighting poles stood at 45-degree angles on Skyline Boulevard. Pieces of concrete littered roadways. An SUV was flipped over like a piece of metal in a driveway. The storm tossed two other cars about 300 feet, Barron said.
The storm pulled the roof off a motel near SW 47th Place and buckled another building there.
There were reports of a second tornado in north Cape Coral, but officials had no confirmation of that.
The cost of the damage wasn’t clear Sunday.
Police and firefighters searched door-to-door in the affected area, looking for injured people or others in distress, VanHelden said.
The Red Cross was on standby to help anyone who might need emergency housing, he said.
Extra police patrols were on the streets Sunday as unfounded reports of looting were called in, said Assistant Police Chief Todd G. Everly.
A sheriff’s helicopter also flew overhead playing a searchlight on the darkened area below.
The sound of sirens was nearly continuous in the early evening as police and fire apparatus raced from place to place.
Mayor Eric Feichthaler patrolled the affected area with police Chief Rob Petrovich. Both praised the response of emergency personnel from across the county and utility workers who are struggling to restore power.
The tornado will be investigated by a team from the National Weather Service starting this morning, said Barry Goldsmith, a weather service meteorologist based in Tampa.
A collision of two severe thunderstorms combined with an off-shore breeze to create the “tornadic event,” he said.
Bob Briggs’ office is in the heart of the area where the tornado touched down. He came to survey the damage.
“There’s wires down all over,” he said. “I think a few houses had some serious damage to their roofs.”
At about 8:10 p.m., residents of an apartment complex called Concept II South near Skyline Boulevard were being evacuated after part of the building’s roof was sheared off.
Residents carried their clothes and other belongings to their cars as they left their homes. Others took photographs.
Bill Sidoti who lives at 51st Street SW and Chiquita Boulevard said “I saw it at my house it was a spout. I didn’t think it would touch down.”
Cassandra Brocker, 17, was in her bathroom at Concept II South on Southwest 47th Terrace and Skyline Boulevard in the Cape getting ready for work.
She heard a loud thump and went outside and heard thunder around her.
“I saw things flying everywhere,” Brocker said, “so I went into the closet. I just started crying and holding my head.”
She grabbed clothes and her purse as she and other residents were evacuated. She didn’t have time to collect photos or other personal belongings, though.
The damage on Fort Myers Beach seemed confined to a small strip on Estero Boulevard.
Four guests of the Silver Sands Resort, located at 1207 Estero Blvd., saw the tornado form across the street from the tiki bar where they were sitting, said Tom Groves, who owns the resort with his wife, Andrea.
As it whipped up speed and strength, they ran into the resort’s office.
The small twister — Groves estimates it was 30 to 40 feet wide — swept through the property.
It toppled the 1,500-pound tiki bar, knocked over fencing and tore the roof off of two units.
“It threw all the chairs into the pool — just made a general mess,” Groves said.
An aluminum awning from the neighboring restaurant, The Beached Whale, sailed over to the Villa’s property, Groves said.
He said he suspects that’s what caused much of the damage at the resort.
Despite the scare, Groves wasn’t fazed.
“(It’s) nothing we can’t fix and nobody was hurt,” he said.
Adrian Walters, 33, was at the The Beached Whale as the storm hit.
One of his friends across the street was blown at least 30 feet when he tried to pack up restaurant umbrellas.
“My friends bartending at the top floor of the Whale were hiding behind the bar,” Walters said. “The top of The Beached Whale was in the McDonald’s parking lot — and that’s a block away.”

Re: Florida Rain Thread-93L
I live in Cape Coral. That was wild evening. Monday and Tuesday were more spottings of water spouts though. I hope we can get through the whole week without another tornado. I am thrilled that we are finally getting rain, much rain.
Now, I want some cooler weather...
