| 14:05Z | EF1 | KEVX | FL | Okaloosa | Destin Ft Walton Arp | A waterspout moved onshore in Destin over the Henderson Beach|State Park tracking northward across Emerald Coast Parkway. The|first location of reported damage was at the Osaka Japanese|Hibachi Steakhouse & Sushi Bar where a light pole was knocked|over facing northwest. Similarly, a power pole at the Mattress|Firm was leaning but had not fallen. The tornado continued across|the Home Goods and Tuesday Morning parking lots knocking down|large tree limbs on the east side and uprooting several trees on|the west side of the circulation that fell onto several cars. As|the tornado continued north, it appeared to regain some intensity|as it moved across Kelly Plantation golf course area. On Kelly|Plantation Dr north of Stonebridge Road multiple trees were|uprooted facing due west, indicating the tornado tracked just on|the west side of Kelly Plantation Dr. While there have been no|other reports of damage so far further north into Kelly|Plantation, public video of a waterspout just offshore the north|side of Destin in line with the tornado track adjacent to Mid Bay|Bridge Road/293 and radar tornado debris signature lends high|confidence the tornado made it across the full stretch of land|before entering into Choctawhatchee Bay as a waterspout. Special|thanks to Okaloosa County EMA, our media partners, and the public|for providing numerous photos and videos to us to help assess|this tornado. |
