Thanks kristie for moving the thread, wasn't sure where to post it.
From the aerial views of the damage, meteorologists are thinking it was like an F3-4 tornado that just stayed on the ground a loooong time.
My df sister's inlaws live in the Villages (Lady Lake). They had some damage but 2 blocks away the homes are pretty well leveled. They feel extremely lucky. (Their home is not a mobile home but a middle-income solidly built home) I'm working now at Florida Hospital in Orlando and my co-workers and I sent some H2O, food supplies this a.m. We are praying for the families. One thing that I am going to research is they have weather radios now that when their is a Warning they automatically go off. I do not have one YET. Apparently from the local news here, The National Weather Service did issue warnings 8-15 minutes before the areas were hit, but the storms were moving at a speed of 65 mph. I've lived here since 99 and if we are going to stay, I really need to get one of those radios. Fyi, no damage in Tampa area that I have heard.
