Frances Tornado Warning Thread

Maybe we can have a sticky thread where we can post Tornado Warnings too. I'm sure those on the west coast of FL as well as those who have family wouldn't mind being alerted to this. I hope those in the Tampa area aren't letting their guard down as it looks like a nasty squall line is heading your way.
