I live in Santa Rosa County, Pace right off Hamilton Bridge Road, a few blocks from East Spencer Field Rd down from the Helicopter field and it was a mess, trees down, power poles down and we were without power from 4 a.m. till 12:15 but you know I called Florida power and the first time they told me it would be on at 8:30 and they could let me know if it changed then I called again when it didn’t come on at 8:30 and they told me it would be on at 12:20 I want you to know my power came on at 12:15 that is incredible to me and I know they work their butts off and they were so kind to me when I called and you know everybody was calling they were probably tired of it but they sure didn’t act that way they were very nice I will tell you one thing I don’t know if we had a tornado or just strong winds but it was a mess yesterday and it was scary for a little while it really was like a hurricane anyway I think Florida power did a great job from what Alcatel and I thank the ones I spoke to on the phone and the ones that turned my power on hopefully we don’t have to go through that again

Hit pretty bad down here in byrneville looks like a dang tornado came through. Trees fallen everywhere, and the roof of my pawpaws barn blown off a little furious no actual warning about preparation or the risk of power cutting just “severe storm”

My biggest concern was the outside animals. But Thankfully there was little to no damage to any of the fences or enclosures. And all animals , big and small. are safe and accounted for.. Thank You Jesus!! My farm and family were spared.. Check on your rural neighbors.. and the elderly..

Pretty sure a Tornado touched down in Century near the sub station on Hwy29.

It felt like thirty minits of a bad hurricane.
