STORM2K

I know this probably belongs in the US forum.. But I thought you guys should see this..

An interesting evening around here... I hope none of these touch down because it could be VERY dangerous {since it's after dark..} and by the way.. There is NOT EVEN A WARNING

...STORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING FUNNEL CLOUDS OVER WESTERN ORANGE
COUNTY AND CENTRAL LAKE COUNTY...

AT 847 PM EDT...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED
STORMS OVER WINTER GARDEN...ZELLWOOD AND MOUNT DORA CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING FUNNEL CLOUDS AND STRONG WIND GUSTS...MOVING NORTHWEST AT
10 MPH TOWARD EUSTIS AND UMATILLA. IN ADDITION...A PUBLIC REPORT OF
FUNNEL CLOUDS WAS RECEIVED IN EUSTIS LOOKING TO THE SOUTHEAST.

By the way... I just checked our skies here.. it appears they may be trying to clear to my south.. but I still have some dark clouds overhead

I think you should be OK because...

A. The reports are of funnel clouds and there have been no reported touchdowns. These are higher based storms and the odds of any of these funnels reaching the ground are remote.

B. The dynamics are not in place to create tornados...let alone tornados strong enough to take off a roof or pick up mobile homes. So even if one did touch down in your backyard tonight you may not even notice it.

Speaking of tornados...the Onion recently published this list of safety tips:
