The storm warning says it was at Madeira Beach at 9PM, That's 90 miles from WDW, travelling North East at 26MPH it might hit WDW after midnight, if there's anything left of it by the time it gets that far inland. :shrug:

The warning doesn't even mention Central Florida.

Under a tornado watch right now, has been raining lightly off and on, and the winds picking up. Not too bad right now...

This storm Cell is now going NE at 64mph. My Software say it will be at Bay Lake by 10:25. My first prediction of Between 10 and 10:30pm. Jim Cantore Reported the Following on twitter "Line coming into Tampa/St Pete seems to have lost its steam as it came ashore. Not writing it off but not impressed right now."\

Tornado Watch This is issued by the National Weather Service when conditions are favorable for the development of tornadoes in and close to the watch area. Their size can vary depending on the weather situation. They are usually issued for a duration of 4 to 8 hours. They normally are issued well in advance of the actual occurrence of severe weather. During the watch, people should review tornado safety rules and be prepared to move a place of safety if threatening weather approaches. A Tornado Watch is issued by the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) in Norman, Oklahoma. Prior to the issuance of a Tornado Watch, SPC will usually contact the affected local National Weather Forecast Office (NWFO) and they will discuss what their current thinking is on the weather situation. Afterwards, SPC will issue a preliminary Tornado Watch and then the affected NWFO will then adjust the watch (adding or eliminating counties/parishes) and then issue it to the public. After adjusting the watch, the NWFO will let the public know which counties are included by way of a Watch Redefining Statement. During the watch, the NWFO will keep the public informed on what is happening in the watch area and also let the public know when the watch has expired or been cancelled.

Perhaps, we need a current WDW weather board here.

A friend emailed an hour ago to let me know it was 'chilly' at DL this evening.

I guess I don't shudder when I look at that image because I live in Indiana. There are many times in the Spring and Summer when the entire state is covered in "Yellow" and "Red". This is just a thunderstorm crossing the state - not a hurricane :p

Wasn't much of a storm for all hype it was getting here.
Nothing but a little wind and some rain.
It was over in an hour.
