ORIGINAL POST
The NWS in Mobile has issued a tornado warning for the Destin area in Northwest Florida.
Circulation showing up on Doppler radar south of Miramar Beach, moving northwest toward Sandestin and Destin.
A waterspout is moving onshore in the that area according to reports from Channel 7.
Heavy rain and storms continue along the coast, heaviest in the Navarre, Fort Walton, Destin, Miramar Beach and Seagrove Beach areas.
Beach storms are beautiful, as this photo Tweeted by Katelyn Cooper (@_kcooper) to @spann shows. But they can be dangerous as well. Dangerous rip currents continue along the Alabama and Northwest Florida coasts as well with double red flags flying indicating the water is closed.
From @mamarazzi4 in Walton County, Florida:
Lightning has been a problem as well as heavy rain. And now waterspouts and tornadoes.
