Pogy posted on the Rush thread using battery power on his laptop his lights went off because of a big storm. He’s just southeast of Tampa. I checked the radar and right then massive red came right through him. I hope he and TOL are OK because they were tornadoes.

Yes, we sure had rough weather down here today. Trees down and such, and north Tampa area had tornados. Have not heard of injuries, however. Our power here in South St.Pete only went out for about a minute earlier today. We farmers need the rain, so there are always things we love about storms.

Of course, we are always careful since we live in the lightening capitol of the world.

The battery on my router lasted for about 10 minutes. The power came back 5 hours later. No damage here but lots around the area. TECO said about 80,000 customers w/o power at one point.It was almost like a small tropical storm coming through. Messed up the Sun-N-Fun fly-in over in Lakeland. Supposedly an F1 went south of me by a few miles, but thankfully damage was mild and not serious injuries.
