No i just keep looking at the weather radar and see the stream out of the Southwest… But northern counties, Gainesville, Jacksonville, they are going to get hit harder then around Orlando & tampa. There's a lot of spin in the atmosphere, yes, but it's not set up for the ridiculous tornado outbreaks of the deep South from earlier this year…

Timetable is between three and five for the storms to come through our area.

Good time to tour. Grab a poncho and head to a park. Crowds will be thinner. Although, some outdoor rides, or rides that take you outdoors (e.g. Test Track) might be shut down.

It has already come and gone up here Jacksonville. It came through very quickly. However, it got very, very dark just before it hit - this will be a problem for the Orlando area, as it will arrive close to or after sunset, which will make it hard to tell when the storm is getting close.

I was out running errands and was able to see it coming. Raced it home and was safe inside when the winds and blinding rain hit.

I would estimate that it took less than 15 minutes for the worst to pass.

Its just a watch. Funny how a lot of the cast members dont know the difference between a watch and a warning. No big deal to be honest, its too cold.

I'm about 2 hours away from Orlando (Jacksonville) and we had Tornado Warnings and sightings up until 2. Got very scary and very dark and windy for a good while but it does look like it has passed for now. We have a watch until 6.
