I live in Pinellas County near the coasr. Ill update on whats going on around here, though I suspect it wont be much lol.

[Janie2006]

Earlier today someone was asking about the possibility of tornadic activity with this system. Landfalling tropical systems can and very often do produce tornadoes, especially in the squall bands that pass through the area. They can occur quite far from the center of circulation, and often they will be moving *fast*, so keep an eye on the sky, an ear on the NOAA radio, and heed all warnings, especially for your locale.

thanks all!
I know there are special advisories out down here in south Florida for some possible funnel clouds this evening.

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0972
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0748 PM CDT WED JUN 05 2013

AREAS AFFECTED...PARTS OF THE W COAST OF THE FL PENINSULA...SOUTH
FLORIDA...THE FL KEYS

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY

VALID 060048Z - 060315Z

PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...20 PERCENT

SUMMARY...THE POTENTIAL FOR A BRIEF/WEAK TORNADO WILL EXIST THROUGH
THE EVENING HOURS AS THE OUTER CIRCULATION OF TROPICAL STORM ANDREA
AFFECTS PARTS OF FLORIDA. WHILE CONVECTIVE TRENDS WILL BE
MONITORED...THE ISSUANCE OF A WW IS UNLIKELY. PLEASE SEE THE LATEST
ADVISORIES FROM THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION ON ANDREA.

DISCUSSION...THREE AREAS OF CONVECTION WITH A LOW-END TORNADO THREAT
WILL EXIST THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS:

/1/ LOW-TOPPED CONVECTION -- INCLUDING WEAK SUPERCELLS -- LIES
NEAR/N OF A WNW/ESE-ORIENTED SFC CONFLUENCE AXIS ANALYZED FROM THE
GULF COAST OVER NRN PARTS OF MAINLAND MONROE COUNTY INTO SRN PARTS
OF THE MIAMI AREA ALONG THE ATLANTIC COAST. ADDITIONAL CONVECTION
ARCS NWD INTO SRN BROWARD COUNTY ALONG AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY THAT
SURGED WWD FROM EARLIER CONVECTION THAT COLLAPSED OFF THE ATLANTIC
COAST. THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY INTERSECTS THE CONFLUENCE AXIS IN CNTRL
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY...AND THIS INTERSECTION POINT -- MOVING GENERALLY
WWD -- MAY FOCUS ENHANCED CONVERGENCE AND CONVECTION DURING THE NEXT
FEW HOURS. AREAS ELSEWHERE ALONG THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY AND CONFLUENCE
AXIS WILL SERVE AS FOCI FOR CONVECTION.

/2/ CLUSTERS OF MORE VIGOROUS STORMS INCLUDING EMBEDDED SUPERCELL
STRUCTURES ARE ADVANCING GENERALLY NWD OFF THE COAST OF LEE AND
CHARLOTTE COUNTIES...AND THIS ACTIVITY COULD GLANCE COASTAL AREAS AS
FAR NORTH AS MANATEE COUNTY DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS.

/3/ DEVELOPING CONVECTION WILL MOVE NWD FROM THE STRAITS OF
FL...IMPACTING THE FL KEYS DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS...ESPECIALLY
THE LOWER KEYS.

REGARDING THE TORNADO POTENTIAL ACROSS ALL OF THESE
AREAS...LOW-LEVEL SHEAR IS BOLSTERED BY A VERTICALLY VEERING WIND
PROFILE IN THE LOWEST 3 KM AGL. VWP DATA FROM MIAMI...TAMPA
BAY/RUSKIN...AND KEY WEST ALL INDICATE AROUND 50-150 M2/S2 OF 0-1-KM
SRH AFTER ACCOUNTING FOR OBSERVED STORM MOTIONS. THE GREATEST
LOW-LEVEL SHEAR AND 0-1-KM SRH IS CONCENTRATED OVER THE W FL COAST
AND OVER THE LOWER FL KEYS -- I.E. IN CLOSER PROXIMITY TO THE
STRONGER LOW-LEVEL FLOW ACCOMPANYING TROPICAL STORM ANDREA.
AND...WITH KEY WEST AND MIAMI 00Z RAOB DATA INDICATING MODERATE
INSTABILITY WITH MLCAPE AROUND 1500 J/KG...HIGH PW AROUND 2.2
INCHES...AND LOW LCL HEIGHTS...A BRIEF/WEAK TORNADO THREAT WILL
EXIST INTO THE EVENING HOURS. THE TAMPA BAY/RUSKIN 00Z RAOB SUGGESTS
THAT BUOYANCY IS RELATIVELY WEAKER OWING TO LESSER MOISTENING AT
THAT LATITUDE...THOUGH THE NWD TRANSPORT OF RICHER LOW-LEVEL
MOISTURE IN THE ERN SEMICIRCLE OF ANDREA MAY OFFSET A SUBSTANTIAL
DECREASE IN BUOYANCY OWING TO NOCTURNAL STABILIZATION.

WITH ANDREA ONLY SLOWLY MOVING NWD AND LITTLE CHANGE IN INTENSITY
INTO THE EVENING HOURS...LIMITED FLUCTUATIONS IN CORRESPONDING WIND
RADII SHOULD YIELD LITTLE OVERALL CHANGE IN LOW-LEVEL KINEMATIC
PROFILES. AS SUCH...THE LOW-END TORNADO THREAT WILL EXIST THROUGH
THE EVENING HOURS. IN THE ABSENCE OF A STRONGER CYCLONE/STRONGER
LOW-LEVEL FLOW/HELICITY...AND WITH THE ONSET OF NOCTURNAL COOLING
PREVENTING ANY SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN BUOYANCY...THE TORNADO THREAT
MAY REMAIN TOO MARGINAL FOR WW ISSUANCE THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS.

10 blocks from us cars have been flipped, lots roof damage and trees down, according to the news

[artist]

Belle Glade, lots of power lines are down

[artist]

just now heard 1/4 mile from us also has damage.
I have goosebumps. Hubby tried to leave for work during this and I practically had to beg him not to go yet. He would have driven right into it.

[Janie2006]

Sometimes I think using the word "weak" for a tornado does a bit of a disservice. An EF-0 or EF-1 is more than enough to ruin your day and cause major property damage.

[artist]

a friends house lost their roof and a bedroom and their dog is missing. The family is ok.

Was about 6-8 miles from me, I left my house right around the time of the event. It was bad out. A friend who no longer lives in SFL, messaged me on FB to check on me and said his in-laws home lost their pool enclosure, had trees down on both cars in the driveway, and minor roof damage. No injuries, thankfully. And sorry to hear about your friends' home. Hopefully the dog turns up OK.

thanks Boudreaux. Fortunately it looks like the worst is over here now and the real assessment can be done. I heard in another home the grandmother they had a hard time getting her out from the damage. Don't know if she was hurt or not. This according to the news.
