we've been talking about the storms that hit we have been talking about the storms that hit the southern parts of the viewing area. this is a funnel cloud in polk county. this was around 12:30 this afternoon. florida shores see its share of storms during the summer months, but we can get some fierce storms during the winter. look at what happened today. tornadoes are what we have to worry about. listen to this from mike bennett. >> when you think of tornadoes, images like this come to mind, twisters tearing through the midwest destroying everything they touch. now they call parts of that tornado alley. it may be a long way from florida but the sunshine state can be just as active.

highest number of tornadoes in the u.s., the majority ever the storms in the summer months during a rainy season. they may be water spouts that move ashore and water spouts may be weaker than the typical tornadoes they can pack a punch with winds of 40 to 90 miles per hour. and they can cause damage. while the winter and spring months are part of the dry season they can bring the worse weather. the fronts this time of the year have brought the areas strongest and most destructive tornadoes and the el nino pattern fuels the weather. there have been 25 ef-3 tornadoes since records were kept. and 18 of those occurred during el nino weathers. how should you prepare v a plan in place and discuss it with the family. thanks to doppler radar and other advancements.

over the last decade. a warning is issued before a tornado. down load the app that will alet the record alert you when a warning is issued. if there is a warning you should find a small interior room on the lowest floor of the house avoiding windows and electrical equipment. if you are in a mobile home have a way to get to a building. avoid going out during the storm and remember the 30-30 rule. don't go out within 30 seconds wait after the last clap before going on. tornadoes are dangerous and can be scary. this should guide to you safety in case of an emergency.
