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:

:thumbsup: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.
