Hang in there - this looks real ugly - but moving fast East to West!

I see what appear to be tornado 'hook echos' - hope I'm wrong...

How bad was it in Seacrest? We have a roof leak that we are trying to get fixed. :shock: Nobody was there last night.

Storm? There was a storm? Just drink more Whiskey and you won't remember it.

What an awesome display of mother nature's power. We really enjoyed the sound and light show..much better than the 4th of July..especially from a vantage point in the clouds.
Drove to Alys beach yesterday..not much of a beach but what a concept..nice.

The storm woke me up about 2 o'clock this morning and the lightning, thunder, wind and torrents of rain were too good to pass up so I videotaped things for about five minutes so my wife (who slept through it all) would realize I wasn't exaggerating. Minus the heavier wind, it reminded me of when Ivan hit in the middle of the night in September '04.

I have never seen a solid 60-90 minutes of non-stop lightning like last night. Looked like a bad scene out of The Munsters where the lightning is so consistent and bright that it looked fake. It was awesome.

I also checked my weather station and it indicated the rain was coming down, at times, at the rate of 6.15 inches per hour. This morning, the rain gauge reads slightly under three inches overnight. Following the big storm, we had two more smaller (but still strong) thunderstorms.

Right now, looks like a perfect beach day in Santa Rosa Beach ...
