Flood watch as far east as 30.3025N, 81.9756W.* Already received about 2 inches, expect 3-5, or more in the next 24 hours.

*I do not often use latitude & longitude in my line of work, please forgive my amateur attempt.

[dizzyfish]

8+ inches and counting. Still coming down hard.

Went for a drive to Hudson Beach earlier today (around 1pm) and I can assure you that from what I saw then and have observed since - some folks have water (rain) in their homes.

CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 422...

VALID 242036Z - 242230Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 422 CONTINUES.

SUMMARY...CONTINUE WW. TORNADO THREAT REMAINS RELATIVELY MAXIMIZED
IN CORRIDOR FROM TBW REGION SEWD ACROSS INTERIOR SWRN FL NEAR
BOUNDARY DESCRIBED BELOW.

OVERALL THREAT SHOULD SHIFT SLOWLY NWD WITH TIME IN STEP WITH
POLEWARD COMPONENT OF CYCLONE TRACK...PER NHC PATH FCST. AS
SUCH...MORE OF NWRN AND PERHAPS CENTRAL FL MAY REQUIRE WW COVERAGE
LATER THIS EVENING.

DISCUSSION...SFC MESOANALYSIS SHOWS MESOSCALE BAROCLINIC ZONE FROM
NEAR FLL-FMY-SRQ...DRIFTING NWD. N OF THIS BOUNDARY...SFC WINDS ARE
SLIGHTLY MORE BACKED...WHILE BUOYANCY DECREASES AND MLCINH
INCREASES. MLCAPE TO ITS S AVERAGES AROUND 1500 J/KG...BASED ON
MODIFIED RAOBS AND FCST SOUNDINGS...WITH SLGT DECREASE LIKELY AFTER
SUNSET DUE TO DIABATIC SFC COOLING. THAT DECREASE...HOWEVER...WILL
BE VERY GRADUAL GIVEN VERY RICH BOUNDARY-LAYER MOISTURE AND
SUSTAINED MOISTURE TRANSPORT FROM SERN GULF/STRAITS AIR MASS. ALONG
AND WITHIN ABOUT 60 NM N OF BOUNDARY...AT LEAST MRGL BUOYANCY
JUXTAPOSED WITH ENHANCED LOW-LEVEL SHEAR/SRH WILL YIELD RELATIVELY
MAXIMIZED CORRIDOR OF TORNADO POTENTIAL FOR ANY RELATIVELY
DISCRETE/ROTATING CELLS INTERACTING WITH BAROCLINIC ZONE. FAVORABLE
LOW-LEVEL SHEAR IS EVIDENT FARTHER NE ACROSS E-CENTRAL FL...PER MLB
VWP...BUT BOTH REFLECTIVITIES AND CELL-SCALE ROTATION HAVE BEEN
WEAKENING AS ACTIVITY MOVES INTO PROGRESSIVELY MORE STABLE AIR MASS
WITH NWD EXTENT AWAY FROM FRONT. TBW VWP REMAINS FAVORABLE WITH 0-1
KM AGL SRH 250-300 J/KG FOR CELL MOTION BEARING SLIGHTLY E OF DUE

Update #2

Rain rate increased and we saw another 3" since my last post. Short lull and we took the dogs out back - good thing as we had water intrusion by our back door we didn't know about. Hubby is now wet vac'ing it. Here comes the rain again.

[brunota2003]

These are some really nasty winds in this video, definitely more then 50 mph.

That looked like a tornado went by...while the person was standing out on the balcony filming it!

Wow, intense. I wish I was there.

[JonathanBelles]

Checking in. I'm on the night shift, so I just woke up. Sadly enough I woke up to a flooded Florida room, currently covered in towels. Winds have been in excess of 30 mph with gusts to tropical storm force. Had a tornado about 10-15 miles from me with some damage reported. In for another soggy night.

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1262
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0601 PM CDT SUN JUN 24 2012

AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS WRN/CENTRAL/SRN FL PENINSULA AND A SMALL
PORTION OF THE FL PANHANDLE

CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 422...

VALID 242301Z - 250000Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 422 CONTINUES.

SUMMARY...TORNADO WATCH 422 WILL LIKELY NEED TO BE REPLACED PRIOR TO
ITS EXPIRATION TIME OF 00Z. NEW TORNADO WATCH SHOULD INCLUDE A LARGE
PART OF THE FL PENINSULA AND POSSIBLY A PORTION OF THE COASTAL FL
PANHANDLE.

DISCUSSION...THE CENTER OF TS DEBBIE LOCATED OVER THE NERN GULF IS
FORECAST BY NHC TO DRIFT SLOWLY NWD TONIGHT. SEE LATEST DISCUSSIONS
FROM NHC FOR MORE DETAILS. THIS LOCATION WILL KEEP MUCH OF THE WRN
HALF OF THE FL PENINSULA IN A FAVORABLE LOCATION FOR TROPICAL
CYCLONE INDUCED SUPERCELLS. VWP FROM THE TAMPA BAY AREA INDICATES A
50 KT LLJ JUST OFF THE SFC WITH LARGE HODOGRAPHS AND 0-1 KM STORM
RELATIVE HELICITY OF 300-500 M2/S2. OUTER RAIN BANDS OVER THE ERN
GULF WILL LIKELY CONTINUE DEVELOPING AND MOVING INLAND THIS EVENING.
MINI SUPERCELLS EMBEDDED WITHIN THESE BANDS WILL POSE A THREAT FOR
ISOLATED TORNADOES. THE GREATEST TORNADO THREAT SHOULD PERSIST FROM
THE WCNTRL COAST THROUGH CNTRL FL WHERE STORMS WILL ENCOUNTER
ENHANCED LOW LEVEL SHEAR AND CONVERGENCE AS THEY CROSS A WARM FRONT
LOCATED FROM SERN FL NWWD TO JUST NORTH OF TAMPA. SOME TORNADO
THREAT MAY ALSO EXPAND INTO THE COASTAL SECTIONS OF THE FL PANHANDLE
DURING THE EVENING AS THE CENTER OF DEBBIE LIFTS VERY SLOWLY NWD.
