Wider weather episode

A prevailing SW flow combined with the river, lake and sea breezes converged east of Highway 301 in the late evening over a moist and unstable airmass. Numerous boundary mergers produced waterspouts over the St. Johns River west of Hastings, FL and over Lake George. The waterspout over Lake George shifted onto Drayton Island and became a landspout. No damages or injuries were reported. Other storms produced gusty winds and locally heavy rainfall especially across SE GA, including some localized flooding reports.
