Survey Summary:
Tornado initially touched down near NW Little Cat Road in Madison
County. Significant tree damage and minor structural damage was
noted at a home along County Road 150. The tree damage
intensified as the tornado moved northeast across a quail farm
along Boggy Bay Road. Significant tree damage and damage to farm
outbuildings suggests EF-1 intensity. This was the tornado`s
widest point. The path narrowed as it crossed County Road
253 where a significant number of snapped pine trees was noted.
The tornado then weakened, with no other known structural damage,
before lifting just southwest of State Road 53 near the Florida-
Georgia line. Maximum winds are estimated to be 105 mph with a
maximum width of 475 yards. Thanks to Madison County Emergency
Management and Florida Division of Emergency Management for help
with the survey.
