I hope the cats at GYC are all tied down tightly! Tampa wx right now showing 3 possible tornados in the area!

Keep your head down Ding, they are coming your way!

I'm on the south side of this mess, it's sunny but blowing out of the south, 25 gust 30 down here, 3 foot waves breaking on my beach!

It's an interesting day to say the least. Sheriff's Deputy's at the neighborhood pier looking out at the gulf with binoculars. Hoping they aren't looking for someone. The Gulf is pissed.

we had storms all night,

we had a tornado come on at indian rocks around 11am .. through to clwtr/st pete airport (feather sound), accross the bay, hit downtown and now going east.

The line had 40-70mph winds, i hope no one is that dumb to go out and surf it around today

Always! Maybe that's who they're looking for...

What's the max wind for kite boarders? Somehow I'm thinking it's below 30.

I hope all the light airplanes at Sun N Fun are tied down, could be lots of carnage there.

Right now I'm under a tornado watch. Was a warning about 5 minutes ago.

I've had the pool pump on since 3AM with the drain open and its only dropped the water level an inch so far. Unreal amounts of rain.

Leaves and branches everywhere.

welcome to central FL. It will do that pretty much every afternoon in late July/early August.

You're just getting some practice today with this front...

I've been through a couple of those downpours back when we moved here in August. This one is just as bad but its got stamina. It'll let up for about 5 minutes at a time then we'll get hit by another cell that dumps another 2" on us.

I now have a completely fresh water pool.

Let it rain... our lake is 4 feet below normal. The sporty stuff came through yesterday but we are having full on gully washers almost every hour.

All boats at GYC are fine. The only casualty was a moored boat that broke free and washed up on the beach at the club.
