Episode Narrative A broken line of severe convection developed across interior central Florida as the west coast sea breeze pushed inland from the Gulf of Mexico. Discrete cells within the line became severe, with several becoming supercells as they moved east toward the coast. Two different supercells each produced a short-track EF0 tornado in Brevard County, while hail up to the size of quarters fell in Altamonte Springs.
Event Narrative An EF0 tornado with winds estimated at 75 to 85 mph, affected primarily the Charolais Estates and Colfax Landing subdivisions in Viera/Rockledge. The damage damage was embedded within a larger swath of strong straight-line winds which affected areas extending farther to the west and east. Several homes experienced damage to roof tiles and soffits. Concrete roof tiles were carried downstream and penetrated several windows. Other metal debris was carried downstream and a fence was blown down. Numerous pool screen enclosures totally collapsed. DI2; DOD1; UB.
