Is everyone here from Florida alright?  I read about some storms in the Corpus Christi Caller Times.

All I've heard in the news was that some severe storms and possibly a tornado or two struck Northern Florida near DeLand.

The tornadoes struck DeLand, The Villages, and Ladylake.  They are all about a hundred miles or so from where I live.  So far 19 dead.  Still counting.

Florida Dept of Emergency Management reports there were a total of seven tornados. six were small, one was 900 ft across and ran for 70 miles. Fire and Rescue Urban SAR teams from twelve counties responded to the four main counties struck by the tornados. Nineteen confirmed fatalities, and many more may be trapped inside destroyed houses and moble homes.

Any CAP personnel affected? Did we have any missions because of this incident?
