My Mom lives in that area. They got some good ones!


I live at Spruce Creek Fly-In and saw the warnings on TV, but we got
some rain and very little wind, but I could see that the squall line was
really moving!

According to the pictures, the touchdown track was only about 100 - 150
ft in diameter, but it really ripped the stuff it touched!


My grandma lives in Pelican Bay so I couldn't believe this. She is only a
couple miles away. This is the first year in probably 10 that I haven't been
in Daytona for Christmas!
