Tornado Warning for Walton County 10/27/09

[Jdarg]

Tornado warnings are so funny here- I hardly bat an eyelash if I am at home. No wind ever, just rain. Always non-events. I have yet to witness a storm that resembled the severe thunderstorms I have been in, much less a tornado producer. I guess the forest protects us on the other side of 98- maybe the storms are worse down at the beach and more inland?

Most of the ones you hear are about water spouts. Anytime I hear that one is "6-15" miles south of SRB, Grayton, Dune Allen etc, I pretty much disregard them.

I used to as well, until a couple of close encounters. I actually like seeing them - on TV, not crossing the highway in front of me!

I heard a tornado touched down in Carrillon, any truth??
