Watching the weather and it's looking bad.

If you go out, be sure to take an umbrella.

A friend of mine stayed overnight in a shelter in Lakeland Florida when a tornado was coming through. Turns out, none of the homes were damaged in the area but the shelter itself got the roof torn off and they all sat in 2 feet of water until sunrise the next morning.

@JamesBugman
That was the last time any of them stayed in a shelter overnight!

@swirlie They survived in the shelter though even with the roof torn off. if it hits your house you are not likely to live. Houses are shredded right down to the foundations.
