We had a very quick tornado cloud come over the house and disappear before I really registered it.
That set off the county emergency broadcast alarm and every phone in the house lit up.
With several elderly neighbors staying here instead of in mobile homes there were live eight phones broadcasting within a few seconds of each other.
The rain is strong and the wind is not near what we were expecting so I think we will be far better off than those in the big bend.
Coastal surge is bad but not 16 feet like was forecast, at least yet.
The local news tells me that the latest hurricane hunter reports have Idalia as a cat 4 not 3 like is on the current weather news.
