The warning issued doesn't say any tornadoes were spotted, so I don't know? It certainly does look like a tornadic storm though, but not one that would produce 3 tornadoes. Was what you saw on the news actual footage?, a report?, or just a crazy meteorologist saying what he
thinks is happening? Because the later of the 3 can probably be written off as hype if that's the case.
Can't wait to hear what is actually going on though. I have tons of family that lives in that area!

the scariest thing though is that the tornado most likely (if there actually is one) touched down right over where I used to live in the winter park area. Good thing I don't live there anymore!

I just saw on local6.com (orlando local news station) that this storm did produce a recorded 81mph gust! That in itself is amazing!

Hopefully no serious damage was done.Not too surprised by that 81mph wind gust considering how nasty that storm looks on radar.

the warning was just extended into Volusia county too. This has been quite a long tracker (I believe this is the third or fourth county total to be under a warning from this storm).

Here is what I found on WFTV.com about the aftermath of the storm and the damage it caused. Also, there were 3 reported injuries:

Looks like a lot of wind damage!

..Bad storm for sure..
BTW, here are a few more pictures from WESH.com:
This shows just how powerful hurricane force gusts and weak F0 and F1 tornados can be!

Looks about F0-F1 damage. Nasty stuff still.

here are a few more pictures this morning:
These make me think the twister was probably more on the F-1 side than the F-0 side. That storage building (last picture) is missing the roof and a wall, and the other walls look to be failing.

Yeah it got pretty crazy here last night about dinner time with all the rain and wind. Glad no deaths resulted from the twisters. Looks like alot of people have some clean up to do this morning, and quite a few with no home.

Looks like a mini-derecho here. I'd say it was straight-line winds.
