STORM2K

There have been three Severe Thunderstorm Warnings for Marion County in Florida in the last few hours. The warnings were in effect until 10:15pm ET, 11:15pm ET and Midnight ET.

The lightning has been non stop for my area since about 8:00pm ET. I am 16 miles south-southwest of the storms all evening. The main feature with this severe weather is large hail.

:o Stay safe tonight Tom! :o

They got a lot of hail over in the Tampa area. Some up to 2 inches in size! Luckily most of it was either East or North of me.

Ugh! I am just ruining this explanation on the severe weather in my area.

I was just looking at the same radar to see how HG's area was doing and noticed Gainesville was about to get clocked ...my half-sister and her family live there.

Don't worry Tom, I get you.

I got missed..the seabreeze never made it to the coast..I heard thunder but that was about it..they say today is a better chance!!!! We shall see

Boy we got it hard at like 1:30 - 2am

Hope you guys get the rain that you need!

It looked real rough (and still does) in W FL! :o

The activity I received Monday afternoon wasn't too close. I did get some rain and some thunder, but not overhead like Sunday evening.

The Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Lake Countythat was issued at 5:12 PM EDT (expired at 6:15 PM EDT), moved south to southwest to my southeast.

Another (non-severe cell) to my southeast that moved in, there was a lot of lightning down in Leesburg, Florida, which is about 10 miles southeast of my location.

Sorry Tom, I spaced out and thought you were in Leesburg. I see now where Lady Lake is ... kind of bordering Lake, Sumter, and Marion counties. Glad you didn't get a bad one like Sunday.

Most of it stayed west of me.. All the strong stuff any how... Another chance today, but will prob stay west again.. We shall see

Right, Donna, I am 25 to 30 minutes from Leesburg, generally the weather here occurs in Leesburg, but obviously not all the time. I am literally at "tri-county."

Palatka got hit pretty hard yesterday afternoon, which is slightly west of due north of Chad and slightly east of due north from me.
