I have never been in a thunder storm such as this. Our power has been knocked out and the lightning reminds me of a strobe light. It is just constant. There were a couple of hits close by. The rain is so heavy I can barely see across the street. This is exciting to say the least. I know we will survive though. Don't worry, we will be OK. I have my battery operated weather radio on and am keeping a constant ear on the reports. They are saying the worst of this storm has passes but we are still under a tornado watch until morning.
The following is from the weather site in the column on the left.
The National Weather Service has issued a Tornado Watch for southeastAlabama... southwest and south central Georgia... and the Florida BigBend and Panhandle... effective until 500 am EST Sunday morning(400 amCST Sunday morning).
at 1036 PM EST... National Weather Service Doppler radar indicated adeveloping tornado near Tallahassee... moving east at 55 mph.
... This is a particularly dangerous situation... Destructive tornadoes... large hail to 1.5 inches in diameter... thunderstorm wind gusts to 60 mph... and dangerous lightning arepossible in these areas.
A Tornado Watch remains in effect for the warned area. If a tornadois spotted... act quickly and move to a place of safety in a sturdystructure... such as a basement or small interior room.
I will try to report in the morning if we are still here.
