BOLT FROM THE BLUE!⚡️Caught on camera this week in the Tampa Bay area. Classic example of how lightning can strike 10 to even 25 miles away from a parent thunderstorm. 6 people have died in Florida from lightning strikes so far this year. When thunder roars, go indoors!

It seems that everything to do with @NWSJacksonville is down.

Radar is down and hasn't updated since 9:15 PM.

WNG522, KHB39, and WXJ60 were previously playing the "off the air message", and are now only static.

And their phonelines are off the air.
