12:59Z EF1 KTBW FL Hardee Wauchula Roof damage and downed power poles were found in Wauchula along US Highway 17. An NWS storm survey crew had difficulty differentiating tornado damage from the surrounding hurricane damage, but given that the initial damage report was received well before the tropical storm and hurricane force winds arrived, it was determined that a brief tornado more than likely touched down. Time was estimated from radar.
13:19Z EF0 KMLB FL Brevard Melbourne Beach Based on a NWS storm survey, a waterspout moved onshore Melbourne Beach near Avenue B, causing minor damage to the second floor of two homes. The brief EF-0 tornado with winds estimated at 70 to 80 mph continued inland and dissipated just west of Highway A1A. DI2, DOD2, LB-EXP.
15:00Z EF1 KMLB FL Brevard Palm Bay Based on a NWS storm survey, a waterspout that developed on the Indian River moved onshore and damaged several residences on Worth Court in Palm Bay, including a waterfront home whose second floor was removed and carried downwind.
