A tree fell on a 42 year-old woman, as she sat in her car in Ocala. She was pinned for a period of time before being rescued. Her condition was life threatening as of last night.

Very sad.
Those storms were really bad. The line split in half when it started coming ashore here. They got it north and south of us. Here just wind. Not much rain.
