We are in the Pinecrest area of Watercolor.  The entire house felt like it was shaking, we looked out front and all our porch furniture flew to one side of the porch.

The storm woke me up. I was napping on the sofa, with all the windows and doors open, then the driving rain sound and windchimes woke my butt up. I looked toward the door and windows, and the sky was completely yellow, even though the sun was about to set. I quickly woke up, like having drank a mug of coffee. Fortunately, it really never did anything, and now looking at the radar, it was several miles away from my house. I didn't even have to get up to shut the doors. I am lucky. The weather radar looked like that storm went right over Big Country's house. He says that the bonfire is cancelled, but the party will go on inside. I think the storm missed him. All is very dark now, outside.

The Ch 7 weather guy hasn't been outside for a while. The sun has set and it is jet black outside, yet he just warned people to not go outside to try to see the storm. Take cover kenny!

Water spout went up Hickory St in Seagrove around 5pm.  One house had the ceiling fans on the 3rd floor porch come down.  Garbage cans moved up the street and chairs on balconies moved.

:yikes: Was there any warning or was everyone surprised?  Sounds like everyone is OK. whew.

Just lawn furniture and outdoor plant issues here. Already straightened and cleaned up. Quite warm outside and drizzly.
 
Hope all else is well.

The only warning that I had was our weather alert which activated just a couple of minutes prior to the spout/tornado coming ashore in the Grayton/Seagrove area.....
 
All reports so far have been minor damage with a couple of uncomfirmed reports of roof damage.  No injury reports thankfully...
