Florida has been hit by a massive Tornado killing many with it's 165 MPH (265kph) wind cutting a 40 mile (64k) path of destruction. I am watching the story live on Fox right now and they report that another storm is heading to the same place at this moment.

The images of destruction are horrific!

Let's hope no-one else gets killed!

Take care Florida.

EDIT: First daylight report - 19 dead

There's nowhere to run to when something like that is heading towards you. Though lots of the old folks tried.

At Least with Cyclones we get lots of warning.
I was surprised to learn today just how many Tornadoes we get in Australia, It does not seem that we get the F4 & F5 level tornadoes that they do in the states though, thankfully !

Didn't this happen around 3am while they were all sleeping, that would make it even worse. Our thoughts are with all concerned.
