Tornadoes in Floria

[chazz1996]

hi All:

Just a thought with all the weather related problems (tornadoes) thru out the us, does the tv see any weather affecting it ?

[handieman]

Yes. We suffer from the following weather problems:
Sometimes its too hot
Sometimes its too cold
When it does rain OMG how it rains
Humidity gets sticky
Hurricanes in the villages are bad wind storms
Tornadoes?? Well, odds are you will be dead before the next one equals Feb 2007
Florida sun is HOT
Common down and suffer with us, we have machines that adjust for these problems called furnaces and air conditioners
The music is always wonderfull in "Floria"
Handie :joke:

[redwitch]

Too cold???? When is it too cold? Haven't had that day since we've moved here. Cool, but not cold, let alone too cold. The humidity is brutal, however.

[nONIE]

common Red, make me feel better, has it gotten brutal yet?????

[chelsea24]

No, Ms. Nonie, it's been perfectly wonderful! LOLOL :bigthumbsup:

[Rokinronda]

The weather is gorgeous! I just need shade. 8)

Now, there's a song that would get the singer a lot of votes on American Idol. :joke:

[tucson]

chazz,to answer your question, you have to talk to native that's lived in this area of Fl. all their lives. I was here and my house was hit by the 2007 tornado,and talked w/people that only moved here from other states that said it was a "flook" and I also talked to the "natives" who said this area always got tornadoes but the fact that this area was always cow pastures (without houses) so it wasn't an issue. I also heard that from a national reporter who live in Clermont .

Those lyrics are still true today. I remember when me and Sweetie used to drink a lot of beer and listen to the KINGSTON TRIO!

[nONIE]

Oh Rats, >:(

I was hoping I could find something wrong with TV, I cant even say the weather is brutally hot??????

No Nonie, not yet! But I am like you with the storms! Scared to death! :yikes: I hope we have time to heed warnings. Here is a good site about tornado's with statistics from 1950-95. http://www.disastercenter.com/tornado.htm I just talked to a "native". He calmed me down a bit, but did say he bought a solid brick home. Glad my granddaughter down near Kissimmee, in Davenport is in a concrete block home!! Storms predicted?? I'm outta here! I'm heading south to Davenport! Big house, you can come! Anyone here know of a safe place to go if evacuated? Hospital? Only place I can think of thats open at 4 AM...............

[BUC]

A safe place is any Public Store. They are designed to withstand Florida storms, but a direct hit by a major tornado will destroy anything (F-5), but generally go to a Public Grocery store and ride out the storms.

I am waiting for the really hot weather that everyone talks about. I want to compare it to another place we almost moved to ...Charleston, SC. We went there in July and it was 98 degrees and 99% humidity, talk about oppressive. Yes, they have air conditioning but that's inside, outside even with a breeze is is sooooo hot.
We also visited TV in July, and yes, it was hot, but not like the low country in SC where you can't get a breath it is so bad.
Right now I would say the weather is glorious, warm days cool nights, a few days of humidity, some rain and thunder and back to warm and cool. I am loving it to pieces. 040 040

Whether it rains, whether it shines, we gotta have weather, whether or not....

I've posted this site before:

It shows that the largest tornado in FLA has been an F2. I think the groundhog event last year was reclassified as an eF3 through Lake County - probably eF2 through Sumter. God forbid we ever see an eF5 anywhere near central FLA. You'll notice that the Villages area is not particularly prone at least not from 1950-2006.

This activity may coincide with the 'dry line' that runs north of Orlando that was mentioned in a previous post about 'Fact or Fiction' - (just my non scientific observation).

[JohnN]

Russ, well that's comforting to know at least historically TV is not a tornado zone
(excepting groundhog day)

[Hancle704]

After you live here for a few years and your blood gets thinner, you start to feel the cold during a Winter that lasts about 2 weeks and the temps get down to 40-50's at night. Then you go looking for your earmuffs when you head out to golf course in the AM. Fortunately by afternoon it warms up.

It gets hot and humid during the dog days of Summer and you can expect afternoon showers. By evening it's pleasant and the old folks rise from their naps, start Happy Hour and come out to play 9 holes of evening golf. What a life. Should have done this much sooner.

[Sidney Lanier]

Yes, there are tornadoes in the area, though it's nothing like Tornado Alley in the Midwest. On the other hand, I understand that Florida is the lightning capital of the country. And as far as cold is concerned, we left TV in January to head to South America, and it was 37 degrees that day; it dropped to below freezing by the following day. Yes, Florida does have weather....
