tornado warnings here
Big storm front very near. I had winterized the RV but refilled the fresh water system and turned on fridge in case we lose power. Gusts of over 60 as the front approaches. If we lose power we will use the MH and gen set until power is restored.

Tornado warning now at 6:25 in Hudson Florida. Wind gusts above 65 and heavy rain.
I rode out 2 hurricanes last summer here, just caught the edge of them. Never know what to expect anymore.

Be careful and hunker down folks. A tornado took out several houses last night within a mile of my home here in NW Louisiana.

Tornado watch here in Charleston until 10 tonight.
I also have my rig plugged in and full of gas and water in case we need it after the storm comes through.

Thoughts and prayers for everyone in this storms patch today.

We are in waycross at Laura Walker State Park. We evacuated to a bathhouse 3 times today due to tornado warnings and they reported we got 6" of rain in the last 24 hours. All clear now.

The storm has gone through here too. We were without power for about three hours. Trees were whipping around like crazy, just like they did during the hurricanes this past fall, but not for as long.

We were ok here in the North Tampa burbs. Lots of tree stuff all over the yard and hard rain/wind but did not lose power. Some places nearby had it much worse but nothing like Ga.

Been without power since about 10 last night. Lots of rain and high winds. Tornado reported few miles from my location. Suspect power lines down from trees down. Only info now coming from local radio reporting since no TV to watch news. At least it's not cold here.

Hope all are ok. We had some down trees and some limited power outages.
Kissimmee had major winds and sideways rain!

Good to hear that every one here made it through safely. Tornadoes are a major concern for campgrounds and RV parks.
