15 May 2012: Vigorous storms in central Florida

It briefly exhibited rotation. The brown smudge at the bottom of the image is smoke from a lightning fire.

Storms were vigorous and numerous on May 15, 2012, in central Florida, including Viera, Cocoa and Titusville. I saw some interesting features, including rotation on a small tower.

I also caught up to a tornado-warned storm near Titusville, but I didn’t see much except a lot of green color and vicious rain and lightning.
