Glad I got my insurance figured out!

Pull up Ground Hogs Day 2007 Tornado in Lady Lake, Fl., it was an EF3, a 70 mile trail of damage and deaths, we don't get a Tornado Season though........:grin:

Tornados come from wind shear and rotation around and near thunderstorms....I'm not a weatherman so the technical jargon escapes me. There is no tornado season other than any thunderstorm with enough wind shear can spawn one or multiple tornados, and we get thunderstorms off the Gulf nearly every day from June thru October. When the moisture laden sea air gets over heated land, thermal currents cause thunderstorms and sometimes they are strong enough to generate tornadoes. We live with it and there is not way to prepare since there is almost no advance notice.

Hurricanes are different, we get a minimum of 2 days notice from NWS of a hurricane and that is time to react.

Oh gush...I guess Shaun didn't see this before moving. Now I have to hide it from admiral.

Thanks for explaining, Frank. I guess the basic "rule of thumb" remains the hurricane season boundaries and everything else is whatever weather Gods decide.

I'm ok Alex but it might not hurt to hide it from her! Lol, like I said, I'm from MI. We get quite a bit of tornadic activity there. They don't worry me to bad...

One F3 tornado 6 years ago int he middle of the state doesn't constitute a tornado season. I agree, we have had a few large tornados but most often they are small and don;t do much damage at all. Although I'm sure in the middle of the state is a little differnt than coastal (eith Atlantic or Gulf side). Most times we get water funnels and never make it to land.

I remember growing up in Ill. where we had some big ass tornados. Definately had a season up there.
