We drove west on I-10 today and this is what we encountered near Live Oak, Florida. We pulled to the side of the road for a time because the rain was more than the wipers could clear for safe driving.
Wind tore the awning from a business on U.S. 19 between Crystal River and Homassaa Springs, Fl., Thursday afternoon. Severe stroms hammered the area, causing wind damage and flooding. A tornado was reported, by a trained spotter, about ten miles South of this location. Check the series for more storm and flood pictures.

She doesn't look as good as she did 4-6 hours ago. That's probably mostly due to the diurnal minimum coming up in a few hours.
Have we determined the gender of Ului yet? lol
Lol....logically it's a she since Tomas is male and genders are supposed to alternate with every name down the list.
Ului is magnificent, we should be paying attention to Thomas though that's the one that will hit Fiji in a day
140300Z POSITION NEAR 12.7S 161.4E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 20P (ULUI), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 310 NM WEST-
NORTHWEST OF VANUATU, HAS TRACKED WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT 08 KTS OVER
THE PAST SIX HOURS. DVORAK INTENSITY ESTIMATES FROM PGTW, ABRF, AND
KNES INDICATE TC 20P CONTINUES TO INTENSIFY AT A HIGHER THAN NORMAL
RATE. THE CURRENT POSITION IS BASED ON ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL IMAGERY
SHOWING A WELL-DEFINED 10-NM DIAMETER EYE. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS
INDICATES THAT THE SYSTEM HAS DEVELOPED A MESOSCALE ANTICYCLONE ALOFT
THAT IS ENHANCING EXCELLENT RADIAL OUTFLOW. TC 20P IS EXPECTED TO
INTENSIFY FURTHER AS IT TRACKS ALONG THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE
STEERING RIDGE TO THE SOUTH, ALBEIT AT A SLOWER RATE OVER THE NEXT 48
HOURS AS IT CONTINUES TO ENJOY LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND HIGH SEA
SURFACE TEMPERATURES. BY TAU 72 AN APPROACHING MID-LATITUDE TROUGH
WILL BEGIN TO HINDER THE POLEWARD OUTFLOW CHANNEL, CAUSING THE SLIGHT
WEAKENING TREND IN THE FORECAST.
THIS TROUGH WILL CAUSE A WEAKNESS IN THE RIDGE LEADING TO A WEAK
STEERING ENVIRONMENT BEYOND TAU 72. TC ULUI IS THEN EXPECTED TO
SLOWLY DRIFT TO THE SOUTH AS A NEAR EQUATORIAL RIDGE TO THE NORTHEAST
BUILDS AND STEERS THE SYSTEM POLEWARD. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE
HEIGHT AT 140000Z IS 30 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 141500Z AND 150300Z.
REFER TO TROPICAL CYCLONE 19P (TOMAS) WARNINGS (WTPS32 PGTW)

just checking in and see whats going on....
The Weather here in Metairie LA has been Beautiful and can't wait for tomorrow's St Patty Day Parade....

I think many didnt move their clocks ahead one hour last night.
Looks like a Fujiwhare effect.
Fiji, Solomon Islands brace for cyclones
Pacific correspondent Campbell Cooney, Sunday March 14, 2010
Fiji and the Solomon Islands are bracing for gale-force winds, heavy rain and storm surges as tropical cyclones bear down on both countries.
Tropical Cyclone Tomas is expected to make landfall in northern Fiji tomorrow morning and disaster management officials there have spent the past few days preparing.
In the Solomon Islands, Tropical Cyclone Ului is expected over the islands of Rennell and Bellona tonight.
Solomons Disaster Management Office spokesman Julian Makaa says the 5,000 people who live on those islands are expecting the worst.
"We've just been advising people to be prepared and sort themselves out," he said.
"We have been advising people to stock things up, prepare for the impact. That means saving water, food, basic medicines."
Ului is generating winds of more than 200 kilometres per hour.
Bureau of Meteorology spokesman Brett Harrison says Ului was upgraded overnight from a category three to a category five storm.
"It does mean that wind speeds are significantly increased, so any areas that will be in the path of the cyclone will receive significant damage," he said.
"At this stage it's moving towards the south of the Solomon Islands."

Tropical Cyclone Ului is currently hanging off the coast of New Guinea, tracking slowly towards the QLD coast. Ului looks to be the last Cyclone of the season, and it could potentially be a big one.
Cyclones once formed, will increase in strength as long as they are over warm waters. If you remember back two months, Ex-TC Olga made its way across the QLD peninsula into the Gulf of Carpentaria where abnormally high sea surface temperatures at the time allowed her to re-intensify.
Currently, Cyclone Ului is sitting on a region in the Pacific Ocean, and should it decide to make landfall on the QLD coast, it has the potential to reach Category five. But the movement of Cyclones is very difficult to predict, currently our computer models indicate that it will infact come close to the QLD coast and then swing off in the direction of New Zealand.

Tropical cyclones seem to have been giving Australia a wide berth of late, with none appearing since late January. But before the season ends, Australia could see just one more sneak in.
On average 13 cyclones develop in Australian waters each year. Over the 2008-09 season seven cyclones formed. In contrast this season we've only had four: Laurence, Magda, Neville and Olga.
Over the last week or so the monsoon system that usually sits over northern Australia at this time of year (often helping to generate cyclones) has faded out.
However, a monsoon trough has been sitting to the northeast over Vanuata and the Solomon Islands, funnelling in tropical moisture over far northern QLD, leading to showers and thunderstorms.
Just lately, computer model forecasts have been indicating that a low will intensify in this region and perhaps head into the Coral Sea by Tuesday the 16th of March. This cyclone, if it ever happens, will be called Tropical Cyclone Paul.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) - Utility crews pushed through fallen trees and windblown debris to reach downed power lines Sunday, working to restore electricity to hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses as strong winds and heavy rain that wreaked havoc in parts of the Northeast pushed on into New England.
The storm, which battered parts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and Connecticut on Saturday with gusts of up to 70 mph, struck about two weeks after heavy snow and hurricane-force winds left more than a million customers in the Northeast in the dark. More than a half-million customers in the region lost electricity at the peak of Saturday's storm, and more than 485,000 were waiting for power to be restored Sunday morning.
