5pm Update: Trending a little south now. Most lines are in South Hillsborough (Tampa) / Manatee county now. I hope that trend continues. Tested the PB and got my extension cords all ready. I should have put in a transfer switch...

I have one. And a AC soft start.. Brand new in the box, sitting in my garage, uninstalled.. I haven't made the time to get it installed yet, and regret it now. I do have TP and paper towels though!

I also have extension cords at the ready, along with a dual-hose portable AC, so we'll at least have some form of cooling.

Although it does show icons for tornadoes..that does not mean they are the ground. Most are at altitude above 15k feet

I've been told it'd been so much more worse if we hadn't (checks notes) given hundreds of millions of $ in aide to other countries the past few months. I haven't been able to figure out how this works at all, and nobody with any common sense can either.

If you're referring to FEMA? That's not how it works.
