Looks like her "present" for Lake City, FL is an F2 tornado from the looks of pictures...it appears to be squalling now though so straight-line winds might become the main threat.

First tornado report of the day. Not a good christmas for these people
At least no one was hurt based on what I have heard.

Aside from the squall line and two embedded possible tornadoes in central Florida, the shearing profiles ahead of the squall line across southern and southeastern Florida remain impressive, along with decent instability at the various levels and good surface heating. Although lack of divergence may limit thunderstorms somewhat, I would still watch for isolated severe ahead of the squall line.
