We just had a pretty good line come through with heavy rain and pretty good winds about 10-15 minutes ago. Looks like another one coming in from the e/ne right now.

I'm in northwestern hillsborough county and its raining lightly. We lived in a low lying area before and I was always filling sandbags. I had two shovels stolen and someone was in a hurry and hit me in the back of the leg with a shovel. It was always bedlam. I'm not sure how it will be at this new home as far as flooding but I went to the store and bought bags of topsoil and my mama can use it in the garden after the storm passes.

Its a Tornado Watch. A warning usually means a tornado is on the ground.

Cookie . I think you mean tornado watch. Warning means: Tornado on the ground. Watch means conditions are favorable for one to develop.

We had the 2 squalls come through like the rest. First, had a solid cold downdraft just before winds and rain. Cleaned my oak tree out. Most be 6 inches of twigs and leaves. Second squall was fairly dry and lasted only a few minutes. Rain is less than a quarter inch.

Any news? Getting a bit more noticeably gusty in south Tampa near macdill / swann ave.

Who else? I'm expecting things to deteriorate shortly.
