oH, man - a tornado warning in the Keys - now THAT's scary!

There was a water spout off one of the keys near Largo and it came on shore and destroyed a stucture, did not say what kind of structure so the warning was issued!!

darned!
Hope it was just a garden shed or something!

Me too!!

We are finally getting some very light, gentle rain here ... just a little more than a sprinkle.. and the wind has died down to almost nothing.
