An example was the recent warning that started for central Sumter county...alarming if that was all you knew. The tv stations had the storm cell pinpointed for south of Bushnell and on a track well south of TV and no further storms in the area. That information will allow one to stop worrying....for at least that night.

I actually did watch the weather on Orlando TV after the alert from my weather radio. The TV news said the tornado was due to go through the Wildwood area, just south of 466A..

Being from Canada, I know nothing about tornados. I thought perhaps they could quickly change course and veer in a new direction. I guess I need some tornado education.

Bare,

Don't forget that in 1985 the Barrie area got whacked pretty well by at least one tornado.
