I am watching the news and it says a tornado has touched ground in downtown Pensacola. The City Cam showed the funnel cloud. There have been reports if flying debri.
A reporter said it was in the vacinity of Navy Blvd, Garden Street and Palafox Street,
All county workers have been evacuated.
I hope this weather isn't coming out way!

.Uncletimmy : wondering if I know your mother???))) How weird ? I've heard that story many times re: car on transformer. We just recently moved from our home on Tannahill dr. to Oak Ridge , TN.
I'll bet basements are not common at the beach! Do you have crawlspace or interior room w/no windows? We had lots of warnings in Huntsville and we always put bike helmets on the kids and threw a mattress over ourselves or went under the house .....Picking up kids from school during is a mess!! you poor thing!!! Keep flashlights handy and cellphone on you. Power always goes first...Keep us posted!

Look out for a green sky and hail - those are the major harbingers of doom!

I don't know why but this seemed like the understatement of the year and made me laugh. I would typically associate a green sky and hail with doom most any time

Those are the tornado specific harbingers of doom though!

When I was little and there was a tornado, the air raid sirens would go off. Why do we not have any sirens here?

Hope everyone is safe, tornadoes are nasty business.
Have been in about 10 serious ones including one when I was in HS at the drive inn and the movie screen blew away and our car was rolled over.
Also one when I was teaching school and we had to evacuate to the halls and when it was all over, we had no roof.
Wizard of Oz used to scare the beegeebees out of me.
