BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted July 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Other unconfirmed reports from someone who was at MK said the wind on Main St was intense, raining sideways, possible tornado nearby but not actually on property. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted July 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Dave said it was a small tornado that rolled right through MK. There was roof damage on COP and parts were laying in the 626 dance party area. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Scary! Hope everyone at the fort is okay! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Thanks for posting Mo. Obviously I hope everyone made it through unscathed. Hopefully the damage is limited to the construction fences/walls, etc that aren't very strong and no big$ damage was done to the WDW property or anyone's vehicles, RVs, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Why do I have a picture in my head of Nicki dancing around high five-ing people? I know! I don't want to hear any lip-service about using this as an opportunity to get rid of one of Walt's great masterpieces. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 We were there and took cover in the Tiki room. After waiting awhile with no repreve and tons of thunder and lightning, we decided to bail. We saw lots of small limbs all over as we were leaving. Glad we left!We got Z's hair cut and rode Pirates and the Carpets so it wasn't a total loss. AC in A2......Aaron 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Although tornadoes are not particularly rare for FL, the big dangerous ones are rare. Mostly I think they get the ones like this one today, if it indeed was a tornado. EF0's and sometimes EF1's. Heck, I can muster up more wind than that after an evening at 'Ohana.

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted July 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Jason posted on FB that there are tons of limbs down and the boats weren't running for a while. Took him 1.5 hours to get form the Fort to BOG. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nicki aka Rebelstand 272 Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Dave said it was a small tornado that rolled right through MK. There was roof damage on COP and parts were laying in the 626 dance party area. Why do I have a picture in my head of Nicki dancing around high five-ing people? I didn't get a chance to get that far yet... and I suspect the damage isn't enough for them to have to close it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nicki aka Rebelstand 272 Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 just hope no one was injured Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted July 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Only thing I've seen is someone that was on Main St who said a balloon seller CM may have gotten injured. No details or confirmation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
