lol I just posted that in your other thread.

[Rob-TheStormChaser]

It looks as these are slow moving storms and a good thing the brunt of the cells over St Johns County have pushed off the coast. There's still some big storms moving faster across the panhandle and some are holding together and will affect you guys a little later in the day.

That cell off shore St Augustine looks mighty Nasty. Hope none is hanging out there in a yacht!
