A lot of the severe weather from central FLA hit me early this morning- it was BAAAAAD.

It felt like a tornado was about to touch down and it the rain/chaos/thunder/lightning cause 2 accidents (one being an 8 car pile-up)

We left WDW yesterday and our flight was right around when the storm was supposed to start, they quickly rushed all us passengers on the plane only to be stuck on the runway while we waited for the storm to blow over.

The rain was bad enough... but the lightning was insane. It was like constant between 11:30 and 2am. A lot of it was cloud-to-cloud but still it was enough to keep many a person in the Disney World area from getting a good night sleep due to natural strobe lights.

That was an amazing lightning storm. I live in Southwest Florida and even when the power went out there was so much lightning that the entire room I was in was lit up.

Had it arrive at 2am in the Melbourne area; me being the weather enthusiast, I stayed up until about 6am when the system finally passed and skipped my morning class. :zipit: Strobe lights in the sky for a solid 4 hours!

Tell me about it, eventhough the thunder was minimal and not bad, that lightning was horrible enough to keep me awake. It was like having paparazzi outside my window.
