Yesterday while I was in the middle of replying in a thread our power went out

Later when it came back on, I went back to that thread to say nothing major happened. Well we missed the major thing:

Confirmed Tornado Touched Down in Leon County Sunday
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- The National Weather Service has confirmed that a tornado touched down in Leon County late Sunday morning, north of Tallahassee.

An EF1 tornado with estimated peak winds of 95 MPH left a path of nearly 4.7 miles about 5 miles North of Tallahassee ending about a mile North of Maclay Gardens.

The tornado lasted about 8 minutes from 11: 51 a.m. until 11:59 a.m.

Surveyors say that sporadic tree damage was found along a path that was as wide as 350 yards in some areas.

MacClay Gardens is about 10 miles southwest of us. Just before the power went out the local TV station said a possible tornado was moving northeast. Good thing it fell apart before it got here!

We had another line of bad storms come through this morning. When my husband went for groceries this afternoon, there was a tree down in our drive and one down across the street.

We did have a casualty - in the pine tree that fell down there had been a woodpecker nest. The tree broke at that point and one baby was dead in the remains of the nest.
