I thought I would have seen this in a post by now.

I hope all our Florida friends are ok.
there was a lot of damage and several deaths.
just checking up.

Thanks Pete! The Meyer family is all good here in Port Orange. I was out of town on business, and the storm came within 3 or 4 miles of our house. Got a bunch of rain and wind, but nothing devastating. I have heard that the biggest twister exited our area via Ponce Inlet. This is not far from our house!

FYI - this the second consecutive business trip for me in which a tornado has struck our area.

Thanks for checking in

Hope the rest of ya are all okay too.

The Sovie family thoughts and prayers are with you guys anything we could do to help you out just let us know.

Been here since Sunday. Its a mess! 20 dead and several areas where all are homeless. As ususal the folks have stepped up to ensure nobody goes hungry or without medicine.

The folks here in the Deland area are real troopers. Giving and giving without thought for themselves. It is sad to see the victims but refreshing to see the outpouring of help.

If ever you get to thinking America is cold hearted, you should visit a disaster area. An older man in a very old truck with tattered clothes pulled a non running motorhome up today. He gave it up for somebody to be able to sleep dry this week. Just brings tears to your eyes watching the donations and the help roll in.

I have noticed, as usual, those with the least tend to give the most.

From everything I have seen all the damage was along the I-4 corridor. With most of it being just north of I-4. In the summer the most violent thunderstorms tend to run West to East along I-4.
