Among the dead were two high school students -- a 17-year-old girl and a boy who was a freshman, said Anna Cowin, superintendent of Lake County Schools.

I imagine you didn't get much off of that line, did you rkzenrage? Hopefully everyone out your way is okay.

We faired just fine here in Tampa, but the wind that night was incredible.

We got a lot of wind and a couple of inches of rain. Some of the local homes damaged, trees down, etc. We are in Polk County. Don't know if anyone was hurt, but no deaths here.
When the barometer moves like that it is very painful for me... but I'm a special case.
A couple of my friends went through it, but their home was damaged, they are ok.
