Are you close to the tornadoes? Do we have any regulars in that
section of Florida? I see it went thru Kissame (SP) and Orlando area
before heading NE.

I can not get a decent map and of course national news just says Lady
Lake...



Lady Lake is about an hour northwest of Orlando. I traveled through
there a couple of weeks ago. It is most famous for "the Villages,"
communities restricted to people over 55, i.e. old farts on golf
carts. The twister that hit the area was an F3.
Last night I talked to my mother who lives in Apopka, northwest of
Orlando. She said they had very heavy rain and strong winds for a
while but no significant damage there.
