I'm 5 miles north of Orlando- we're getting tornado warnings now
Tornadoes? Do you ever get those there?

Sure: Fl gets some tornadoes, but not many that far south.
(Waterspouts are common towards the coast.)
Tornadoes aren't too common in general in middle FL because the thunderstorms are (typically) from warm air rising up over land, not from rapidly-mixing frontal storms that the mid-west gets in Tornado Alley of Texas and the Mid-West.

We get torandos in the spring and summer...but usually a 0-1 on the F scale...no biggie. However- about 5 years ago we had a night of F3-4's come through here- right over my house at the time...Seminole County
