My Aunt e-mailed me back said that the tornado hit just 5 miles from where they live in Deltona. They have no damage at all. Christmas Day a tornado touched down just 1 town away.

I seriously need to start watching the news every once in a while because I found out about this like an hour ago when my dad called to ask if we felt any of the storm last night where we live. I was like, "Storm? What storm?"

That article has a map with a messed up scale, and makes it seem like the tornados were about 13 miles away, not true. And the tornados weren't even in the same county as Disney. They were quite a bit north.

All ok here

Hi Gang,

I live right behind the Animal Kingdom. (2miles directly west) We did not get hit that bad here. I was up this morning watching the storm and we had quite a bit of wind and rain but nothing that would cause serious damage. Since I live directly west of disney and the storm was moving west to east then what I got is exactly what disney got just minutes later. I do not believe there is any more damage than what we get here in the summer with our afternoon thunderstorms.
