Although I do not live in Florida, I was on holiday (Vacation) and it just missed my Vacation villa.
I was staying in a place called 'Bass Lake' in 'Polk County' and had to evacuate. Although I was not in a mobil home, I evacuated due to the Hurricane changing cousre.

On the TV it said that there was a Tornado warning. It was far away from where I was so didn't go. Later on it said that the Tornado was going towards north of Polk county. We looked out the window and we could see a massive Tornado only two miles away from us. This is when we decided to Evacuate. When we were in the shelter, my Mum thought that it was ok to go out and get our belongings from the villa since on the Radio they said everything was fine. Just as she left, the Tornado hit again, only 200 yrds down the road from us!!!

Once she came back the Radio told us that it was an F5 Tornado that had just blew out north of Polk County. (Although since the Radio said that it was Ok to go out in a F5 Tornado, I doubt it was F5)

The Hurricaine changed cause and it was now catorgry 5. The eye was supposed to go directly over the shelter. And the walls were rattling. Most people were standing up at the window filming (Including me 'Typical Film Director'). When it got more powerful I went in the hall with my family and putm y head between my knees. The Eye just missed us but destroyed most of Polk County and Orlando. I went to Universal the next day, and most of the rides where damaged.

Safe at home now. Definately got to make a movie of this!

Glad you are Ok Dipstikk
