Tornado's on the way to Florida

Nope not for me, I'd rather deal with snow than a tornado. Stay safe!!

We really needed all the rain we got. I am trying to stay inside as much as possible as my allergies get worse and worse. My head feels like it is twice its size, (that's pretty big, hahaha).

@Marilynda1225 Oh, me to. The tornados can go anywhere and so much destruction.

Oh yeah, the did have major issues with Hurricane Harvey @ramapo17 but it only affected the southeast coast of TX, where I am it had no affect although 2017 did pose an insect problem here that I'd never experienced before .... that never made the news though .... and tornadoes are common in the central part of TX and really severe ones hit every few years so it's not an uncommon occurrence. But how often does FL get that many hurricanes one after another then gets hit with tornadoes? Your state is no where near as big as TX so to me it means FL really got slammed.

I thought Texas was having some issues lately to.

@rebelann Last year we had a tornado warning but it missed us but it was very close. The hurricane prediction was a lot more but we only got hit once and that was for the one last September when we finally evacuated to the northeast. We lost most of our car port and it was just replaced totally last week. It only took 5 months because all the very bad damaged ones were fixed first. There are still a lot more houses to do. Was that bombing incident in Austin, Texas near you?

If you like the heat, Florida is for you. I really do no like the heat so I stay inside with the a/c on all the time.

@ramapo17 after northern Europe winters with very low temps in the minuses and summers that are not really summers you can bet I will love it.

@RasmaSandra Well then, come on down.

@ramapo17 so far the storm started later than expected so now we're getting it today and into tonight. I know along the coast (Jersey shore and up into NY etc is getting worse).

@Marilynda1225 I talked to my grandson tonight and he said school is already telling students the schools are closed tomorrow. That is a smart move so people do not have to get up so early for nothing.

I heard that. I haven't heard from my kids yet today and was wondering what was happening.

We get tornados. We had one last year that just passed us. It actually hit our town and right down the street. We were ready to slide in the bathroom. It was scary as we never witnessed anything like that.

@just4him Was your house ruined or hit?

@ramapo17 Yes, they are scary. I've been in one, while outside. I was 9 at the time.

My kids live the northeast in New Jersey and told us about this one. It is their 4th storm. All the winter storms and cold weather is the reason my husband wanted to move out of Pennsylvania. We lived on the border of New Jersey in the Poconos.

@Metsrock69 That was good. After all you had this year I am sure you are well prepared if another one hit.

@ramapo17 We got lucky with this one . only got about an inch of snow.

I hope not. Enough is enough.

I really don't know. The first time I experienced one was last year down here in Florida and it wasn't that bad. I think leading up to one is the most terrifying as we don't know where they are going to hit.

Don't you get earthquakes?

I am with you @JudyEv and I never really wanted to. I had enough with blizzards and hurricanes and tornados. I don't need anything else.

Awww, you're no fun.

I don't think this is any better than where you are. I have never been to California but I visualize it as being beautiful. My grandson is going to be stationed in San Diego and leaves Illinois tomorrow. Maybe we will get to visit him there. I have relatives in north California.
