to see much more very bad stuff approachung Sarasota, Bradenton, Venice and south areas.
Squall line clearing the immediate Tampa Bay area now. Quite a lightning show. Tornado watch remains in effect until 0700.
Check TPA Nexrad. Sarasota going to get clobbered. U Ok? You’re right on bay, aren’t you?
Wx alert radio was very busy over the past hour. Sarasota has already seen the worst of the storm now.
I am up and alert. 20 miles N. of Orlando and it is dumping rain like crazy here. Tornado watch up till 7am so the weather radio will be on all night. Lightning has been all around us for hours.
Still building in Gulf to west of Sarasota - Venice, moving onshore
My daughter and family live outside of Tampa and 2 sons and family in Titusville/Cccoa Bch -
Too late now to call and see if they're okay =

Here is a map from WFTV and you can save your location and zoom down to your street:

Lights just came back on. Serious lightening storm and high winds through Seminole County over the last 2 hours. Stay safe. Back to bed.
Ch. 13 in Orlando just said southern and central Brevard will be getting some strong winds within 10-15 mins. Another storm headed to Lake county. Geesh! This is like a hurricane, ha? I keep hearing sudden claps of thunder and then low rumbles in the distance. Lots of energy out there.
Yes, lots of energy. Glad the worst is over here. Can’t take my eye off the TV satellite. Just hope there are no tornadoes. They’re bad enough in the daylight. My older parents are in Polk County. Tornado warning until 7:00 AM there. Kitty just came in the front door. She was all worried and wet. Tried to tell her a storm was coming before we went to bed earlier tonight. Wherever you are stay safe. The worst lasts about a hour. The lightening is horrendous.
I am just north of Seminole. I heard Sanford had a lot of people without power but they got it back on. I know what you mean about the kitty. He came running for the porch when the rain first started and he looks disgusted now watching the nonstop rain. LOL! Stay safe!
The weather’s been wild today. I was waiting for the rain all day today, suddenly these wild gusts started hitting us and then it came.
The sky was lit up tonight without stopping for hours.
By the way, I’m just north of Tampa.
Just getting back up for work. Power was out here for a couple of hours. I’ll see if there’s any wind damage when the sun comes up. Sanford is just a few miles north of us here in Oviedo.
Constant lightning here in N. Tampa last night for what seemed a couple of hours. Even the dog was smart enough to seek out a more secure part of the house.
In Zephyrhills, the storm started around 7 pm last night, with the wind blowing so hard the rain was falling sideways. The raind would slow down for 10-15 minutes and then start up again. There was ongoing lightning and thunder until well past 1 am. No power outages around here, thank God.
It came through here (Brevard County) early this morning, but seems to be clearing now.
