Episode Narrative A waterspout associated with a developing rain shower moved northeast and made landfall as a tornado over a causeway in the Coco Plum section of the City of Marathon, Florida. Minor damage resulted as the tornado exited the causeway and dissipated as a waterspout.
Event Narrative A waterspout was observed as a condensation funnel cloud over a marine basin approximately 630 am EST north of Key Colony Beach and just west of the Coco Plum Drive causeway. The waterspout was observed crossing the causeway as a tornado at a seafood distribution business damaging a metal overhang. Tarps and canvas coverings on vessels docked in the adjacent marina were partially or completely removed, with a few torn. No structural damage to buildings or vessels was observed. The tornado exited the causeway as a waterspout and dissipated very shortly thereafter.
