It came ashore near Perdido Key and apparently was hopping along.

Lightning enhanced image of the Pcola Tornado. Hard to tell how big it is based on how far away the picture was taken.

Got some friends in the Milton/Pace/Pensacola area that seem to have all dodged the worst of it. Buddy in Pace said it looked like the rain was flying up from the ground

When I got home and saw the kids' portable basketball goal knocked over I was a little aggravated. But after seeing all the real damage and loss of life/injuries throughout the gulf coast, I'm counting my blessings.

Thoughts and prayers to those affected by these storms.

Pretty sure a weak F3. Basing it off the damage to brick structures as well as on I-10 and the distances vehicles were thrown. Similar in Dallas late last year.

I'm hearing 9 casualties so far in Pensacola from a friend whose husband is a first responder.

Prayers for those involved. This has been a scary night.

Casualties is what was texted to me. I don't want to say fatalities if it isn't true, but I feel like that may be the case.

Horses are good. One of mine spent most of it out in his paddock and not in the barn from what I was told. Guess he enjoyed the rain. One of the stalls flooded some (not mine).

Been trying to guess that based solely off the damage. I'd agree, except for that ONE picture where only the stairs are left. That's damn sure F3 material, but the rest is F2/F3.

I am thinking there's a chance that it just got insane for a second OR that building was made for crap.

I'm gonna go with F3 just based off damage. Not a lot of pics to go on.

I love dicking around on street view and found it going up Scenic between the water and The Moorings when that collapse was first reported.

Looks more like EF-4.
