It's only a matter of time until there is no homeowners insurance in Florida, among other places.

Hurricane tornadoes are generally very weak. Almost no chance of anything EF3 or higher like we see in the Midwest.

Tornado warnings all around us in the Stuart, FL area and it’s early yet.

A friend of mine just let me know a tornado took out a manufactured home community in North Fort Myers. This was a tornado in that area but not sure it it’s the same one that hit the manufactured home place.

Thanks Otter, you're a gentleman and a scholar.

You have just about as many cars on that bridge coming as they are going.

I thought they told people to get the hell out of there.

How was it wrong? Nowhere did I say there wouldn't be tornadoes. They are just much less violent than midwest tornadoes.

"Usually, tornadoes produced by tropical cyclones are relatively weak and short-lived, but they still pose a significant threat."

"In general, tornadoes associated with hurricanes are relatively weak and short lived, especially in comparison to those that occur over the Great Plains"

The early effects of the hurricane are interacting with another weather system/front to create these stronger than normal hurricane-related tornadoes.
