I get weather alerts from WESH TV sent to my computer and didn't get any for Sumter County. My son and his family live in St. John's County closer to Jacksonville and I got alerts for them from WESH. My granddaughter's school didn't release the children because of severe weather. Daughter in law said there was a period of heavy rain and large hail and they lost power in their development. There was tornadic activity in their area also....not sure just how close, but close enough for a warning to be issued. Weather Bug, another weather service I've had for ages, showed alerts for parts of Marion County, but not Sumter.
