Tornado over Lakeland, courtesy www.tampabay.com

Looks like a fairly small / weak tornado. But since this supercell has been cycling in intensity, I wouldn't exclude the possibility of something stronger.

Yea, that's the picture Bay news website 9 is showing also. A funnel could was sighted just Se of me near Lake Gibson High Scholl earlier this morning.

* At 1031 am EDT... National Weather Service meteorologists detected a

* Other locations in the warning include but are not limited to

Wekiwa Springs State Park... Fern Park... Union Park... DeBary

and midway

This storm is capable of producing a tornado at any time. People in

the path of this storm should act now in order to protect themselves.

Do not wait for the tornado to develop before acting... you may not

see or hear its approach. Do not get caught off guard!

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

It is very risky to remain in a Mobile home during a tornado. Mobile

homes offer little protection against tornado winds even if they are

tied down. If you are in the path of a tornado and are in a Mobile

home... abandon it for safe shelter. Quickly move to the nearest

sturdy building and go to an interior room on the lowest floor. Put

as many walls between you and the tornado as possible.

Just logged back online. The squall flexed it's muscle here in the Lakeland area. I had 51 MPH winds and blinding rain. I was on my back porch and to the south, the sky was lighting up like a christmas tree and the constant sound of the distant thunder sounded like a massive artillery barrage. Besides the report of people trapped at the Sun and Fun, it sounds like some more damage reports coming in for the South lakeland and Bartow area.
