I live at Spruce Creek Fly-In and saw the warnings on TV, but we got
some rain and very little wind, but I could see that the squall line was
really moving!

According to the pictures, the touchdown track was only about 100 - 150
ft in diameter, but it really ripped the stuff it touched!

I looked at the photo on the newpaper's website. It destroyed the
hangar, but the airplanes tied down on either side of it are undamaged.

My grandma lives in Pelican Bay so I couldn't believe this. She is only a
couple miles away. This is the first year in probably 10 that I haven't been
in Daytona for Christmas!
