The big news around here lately is the big thunderstorm and tornados that smashed through central Florida around a week and a half ago. Talk about an emergency situation! Twenty people were killed and tons of homes destroyed. The thunderstorm woke me around two in the morning with it’s howling wind. Floridians are used to severe weather and thunderstorms and many take precautions by keeping plywood, tapcon screws, water and survival kits on hand to help make it through the storms and their aftermaths. However, thunderstorm cells and tornados just kind of pop up and do not leave time to prepare. Hurricanes provide ample time to prepare yourself. I wish the best to all the people impacted by this storm.
