These were both from Osage county where more than a half dozen fires popped off. Other counties saw similar fire activity with Red Flags and wind gusts of 50 MPH pushing these Oklahoma fires.
A tremendous amount of progress was made today on existing fires, but fire danger is expected through the week. Thanks to the subscriber who shared this footage of these Oklahoma fires. 🙏
Yesterday was a significant tornado outbreak with Hurricane #Milton. We often don't talk about the destruction these tornadoes can cause from named storms. Below is our CanopyWeather Tornado Swath Product to help understand damage areas from these tornadoes.#Florida#FloridaStorm
Look at all the tornado warnings across Florida today...126 in total. This is #2 all time for tornado warnings in a single state on a single calendar day, behind only Alabama's 134 tornado warnings on April 27, 2011, during the Super-Outbreak. What a day. #Milton
Is there any storm chasers that could possibly pick us up from Tampa and take us back to Orlando?
We are without a vehicle since the turbo on our truck went out earlier prior to the chase and have to way to get back to our hotel in Orlando.
