Orlando_wx where are you?

[Eyes2theSkies]

Has anyone heard from Orlando_wx? There was major damage to Orlando, we were so lucky in Ocoee, just NW of Orlando, we got the weak side of the storm and we're thankful for that. We spent the worst of it in the closet with 3 kids and the dog. We got our power back LAST NIGHT!! I think it might have something to do with the fact that living on the next street is an electric company repairman, but I'll take it anyway I can get it. Maybe he just doesn't have power yet, a half million people in Orlando don't.

Quite possibly he has no power... I saw a report that 90% of orlando lost power.

Glad to hear you're ok. We had a tornado pass over us with the first feeder band. I had never seen one before. It was amazing and terrifying all at once. I was shaking as we all hunkered down in the closet, but luckily it didn't touch down. My husband went to work this morning and he's been giving me damage reports on the way. There's trees down all over Ocoee, the Florida Mall has no power and shattered windows.

I believe that never seen it this bad here.
most traffic lights are still out most malls are closed i just heard from my sister she works at sea world and she said it will take 2 months to fix the damages she said roofs are off and damage everywhere.
