Are they doing continuous coverage there? It seems like today was underestimated by everyone!

[HurricaneHunter914]

I find it weird that Orlando was supposed to get some severe wx today and right now it is a bright a straight A student.

[brunota2003]

well...maybe I wont get anything after all, the storms are weakening as they are approaching me!!! still about 1/2 to 1 hour away...but weakening!!!

[6SpeedTA95]

I find it weird that Orlando was supposed to get some severe wx today and right now it is a bright a straight A student.

How is that wierd? No offense but I've seen two other people say that the last two days. It doesn't matter what its like at the current time, severe storms can go up in a matter of 30 minutes if conditions are right.
