Morning everyone,
Wild night last night. 3.25" of rain - no damage for us that I can see so far. Neighbor lost the top 1/2 of an oak - I think it was mostly dead anyway.

News said that the jail in Land O' Lakes was hit by a tornado. Don't know if it was the same one I heard - probably not. No injuries reported.

Nearer the coast off Jasmine Blvd. residents are up to their knees in water. I would guess from coastal flooding and rain combined.

How did everyone else make out?

Just got the power restored here in St. Petersburg.

Extremely windy here 430a-515a, I am estimating gusts to 50-60mph, power transformers exploding, branches down. Quite a storm! Notably, there was continuous lightning for a period of about 430a-5a. 0.6" of rain though.
