Potentially severe weather is expected this afternoon in the areas hardest hit by the Feb. 2 tornadoes, Lake County emergency workers said this morning. They are concerned the weather conditions may spawn another tornado in the parts of Lake still trying to recover from the deadly storms 10 days ago.

As on Feb. 2, today's predicted weather pattern includes a cold front and warm front colliding. That sort of outlook calls for more than just heavy rainfall, said Lake County Emergency Operations Center spokesman Christopher Patton. A National Weather Service warning this morning predicted strong winds and possibility a tornado. "There is a chance for something more severe," Patton said. "We have people in not the most structurally sound structures, and we need them to relocate for the evening." In the Lake Mack and Lady Lake areas, people camping or staying in unstable buildings should find alternative shelter, officials said. Residents looking for shelter can call the Lake County Citizens Information Line at 352-343-9732. In Lake Mack, residents can find temporary housing at Camp La-No-Che, at 41940 Boy Scout Road in Paisley. People also can take a bus between 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. today to the camp from the Lake Mack Disaster Recovery Center, at the local fire station on Lake Mack Road.

on a related note, the middle keys almost had a water spout come ashore, as part of the bad weather crossing Fl.

1. I have to get my stepson out of that state

No slight against Floridians at all, but his mother and I are beside ourselves watching any reports of bad weather on the news.

2. I just got a job there . . .

Moving this summer. But not to central Florida.

Hubby prefers earthquakes -- he's a SoCal native. All this news about the bad weather is making him nervous.

3. I just don't think any place that actually has a hurricaine SEASON

is a particularly healty place to dwell.

4. the entire East Coast has a hurricane season & the entire Gulf coast

has a hurricane season.

should all those people stuff themselves into the Severe Thunderstorm and Tornado Belt? or maybe stuff themselves into Calif. the home of earthquakes? or places in the US that go over 100 degrees in the summer or below zero degree in the winter?

no place is safe from climate change.

5. I've lived through hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, floods,

and minor earthquakes. NM has none of that, but it does have fire season and dozens of volcanoes, all classified as dormant, not extinct.

The potential for disaster is there, wherever you go.

6. Has Lake County become the new hurricane alley?

Or is it possible that the new construction down there is very questionnable?
