The storms to my WNW are starting to look very nasty too!

The ESE motion in the last few radar frames has me concerned that I might soon be under the gun here on the north side of Orlando.

Lightning strike ruptures gas line in Lithia

LITHIA (Bay News 9) -- A lightning strike during today's thunderstorms has caused a gas pipe in Lithia to rupture.

Officials said the rupture happened in the area of Mission Oak Dr. and Kingbird Manor Dr. in Lithia. Some gas leaked as a result, and so three homes were evacuated in the area.

No injuries have been reported.

Hillsborough fire crews and TECO are responding to the scene.

This area of convection has been sitting over central Florida
and redeveloping/training all day. The storms want to keep reforming
over the Gulf. This whole cluster is moving "south" towards South Florida.

Not bad rains again today, looks like the classic summer pattern has kicked in at last down there then, if anything from here it looks like you are having an above average spell in terms of rainfall for this week.
