| 19:14Z | EF0 | KTLH | FL | Calhoun | Scotts Ferry | A trained spotter reported that he saw a tornado briefly touch down along Highway 71 with downed trees. This tornado was rated EF0 due to the tree damage. No structures were impacted in this rural area. |
| 19:54Z | EF2 | KTLH | FL | Liberty | Hosford | A large tornado touched down on the southwest side of Hosford, FL just west of NE Shadow Lane. The tornado snapped or uprooted several trees on NE Chester Street and NE Liberty Circle. There was some minor roof damage in this quadrant of town and a few damaged outbuildings. In the center of town, near the intersection of SR 20 and SR 65, a gas station and adjacent building suffered minor roof damage. Most damage in these areas was consistent with EF0 or EF1 winds. The tornado continued northeastward along SR 65 where the the highest concentration of damage was found. Damage to homes and snapped trees were noted on both sides of the highway with the trees felled in opposite directions on either side of the road. Several outbuildings were destroyed or heavily damaged. Several homes sustained roof damage on either side of the road. The most significant damage occurred just north of NE Granny Annie Road on SR 65. One single family home had the roof and back porch completely removed. An adjacent home on the same property had the roof of a second story bedroom removed with partial collapse of the walls. The tree damage in this area was also extensive. Winds in this location were estimated to be 125 mph, which justifies an EF2 rating. The tornado was also rather wide with a width around one-half mile at times. The tornado continued to the northeast along SR 65 for a short while, snapping trees along the way before potentially lifting. It is possible the tornado continued east of SR 65 for a ways, but there was no way for the survey team to access these areas. Damage cost was estimated. |
| 20:04Z | EF1 | KEVX | FL | Bay | Lynn Haven | The tornado likely first touched down against the tree line along the bay across from A.L. Kinsaul Park. The initial damage included some roof damage to a gazebo where the panels were blown off. It looks like at the strongest damage point it was estimated that the tornado was 75 yards in width. Just across from the park to the northeast, the roof of a house was nearly completely destroyed. There was a carport attached to the roof which was demolished, and the roof was then lifted off and carried across maybe 20 yards across the street and impacted another house. This second house had the cars in the driveway lifted and turned a few feet. The home suffered structural damage to the front wall with cracks spreading towards the back of the home. These two homes appeared to suffered the most direct damage. Turning north down the road, the neighborhood had similar damage to siding of the homes as most of the damage came from a southwest to northeast direction. Snapped trees, patio furniture tossed, and broken windows were the most common impacts. Near the end of the path, a large shed's roof was lifted off and carried a few feet away. About 3/4 mile northeast of the start point, the tornado likely weakened as the damage becomes more minor consisting of roof siding damage and snapped twigs. On the northern sides of homes, hail damage was evident due to hail being driven onto the sides of homes on the north side of the tornado. This tornado was rated EF1 with max winds estimated at 110 mph. Total damage cost was estimated. |
| 20:33Z | EF0 | KEVX | FL | Calhoun | Chipola Park | A well defined TDS occurred in a rural area in far southern Calhoun county. No structures were in the path to be impacted. This tornado was rated EF0 due to tree damage. |
| 21:21Z | EF0 | KTLH | FL | Wakulla | Smith Creek | A TDS occurred in northwestern Wakulla county in a rural, forested area with no structures to impact. This tornado was rated EF0 due to tree damage. |
| 22:11Z | EF1 | KTLH | GA | Thomas | Homestead Park | A brief tornado touched down along U.S. Highway 84 near Greenwood Plantation. The tornado caused extensive tree damage consistent with EF-1 winds of approximately 100 mph. The tornado just missed several homes just to the southeast and remained over wooded areas before dissipating as it crossed the U.S. 84 Bypass. Thanks to Thomas County EMA for assistance with the damage survey. |
| 22:14Z | EF0 | KTLH | FL | Gadsden | Havana | A brief tornado touchdown occurred in Gadsden County along County Road 12A. Numerous pine trees were snapped and uprooted near the intersection of CR-12A and Leslie Lewis Road. A few other trees were uprooted before the tornado dissipated just west of Concord Road. This tornado was rated EF0 with max winds estimated at 80 mph. |
| 22:20Z | EF1 | KTLH | GA | Thomas | Pasco | The same parent circulation that produced the tornado near Greenwood Plantation produced a second tornado which appears to have first touched down in the Holly Springs neighborhood. Damage was minimal with minor impacts to trees. The tornado remained very weak as it moved northeastward before intensifying near Egg and Butter Road. Numerous trees were snapped and uprooted at this location consistent with an EF-1 tornado with winds of approximately 90 mph. Damage to a barn was caused by falling trees. The tornado dissipated as it crossed Fredonia Road. Thanks to Thomas County EMA for assistance with the damage survey. |
