Radar, Photos from FL Tornadoes
UPDATE (Sunday): Here are the additional Associated Press photos that I promised.
First, a classic board-through-wall pic (a 2x4 if I'm not mistaken):

Next, some car and house damage. Notice the grass (or hay) jammed into (or out of) the car door.

Finney had just arrived yesterday to visit friends. On the right is Pat Price, she found Finney's front bumper in her garage. (AP Photo/John Raoux)
ORIGINAL POST:
The current death toll stands at 20 in Central Florida after Groundhog Day tornadoes ripped through Lake County. CNN says that damage estimates are up to $80 million. A lot of quality video of the damage and aftermath is available from WESH.com.
Steve Penstone sat down with Henry Margusity to get a meteorological analysis video of the storm (PREMIUM | PRO), including the radar images that I posted yesterday. The NWS [JessePedia] has issued an initial track, storm summary and radar loops for the Lady Lake tornado.
Two new radar images have been released from our Wichita office, showing the radar map (with lightning) and also the radar winds at the time of the tornado reports. These images are from WeatherData, Inc. which provides software and services to businesses for weather risk management. These images are from their StormWarn package.
Here are two Associated Press photos from the storm. I will add two more tomorrow.
