I was on a MRI call Friday night and someone had stuffed a towel under the  electrical room door, so I asked why. They told me since we are located on Tampa Bay it may stop the storm sure.

So, if I surround my mobile home with towels, will it protect me from the wind?

sounds like Baghdad 2003 here.

Every few minutes another transformer starts popping off.

Across the street the next blocks wires were spewing fireworks for three straight minutes up and down the whole block till they flamed up and finally snapped.  No fire thank-g-d.

If was intense.   Arcing lightning for a hundred feet easy along the whole length.

Is it just me or does it look like it's going to pull energy from the east coast? Might be just me but it looks like it could go across towards Orlando and Canaveral or daytona.

Wondering if I still need to be concerned with our waterfront place in Ormond?

I'm on the north end of the Lake Co rectangle. Power went out 45 minutes ago, word is that a tornado hit our substation. 

Steady 20mph with gusts double that and periods of heavy rain.
