EF1 tornado in Brevard County, Florida

The tornado was one of several tornadoes to impact the area as Hurricane Milton's outer rainbands swept across the east central Florida.

A waterspout moved ashore near the Royale Towers Condominiums to the east of A1A, where it damaged the roofs of several storage units and garages on the property. The tornado continued in a west-northwest direction across A1A where estimated winds of 90-95 mph removed a large portion of the roof of a bank.

The circulation then moved into a residential area where damage, in the form of partial roof loss, broken windows, and downed trees occurred along Bimini Rd., St. Croix Ave., and S. Banana River Blvd from 80 to 90 mph winds. The tornado emerged into the Banana River as a waterspout where, based on video evidence, it continued on a northwest trajectory across SR 520 before moving ashore south of Kelly Park and into the Riviera Isles subdivision. Minor damage occurred here, mainly to pool and porch enclosures. The circulation dissipated shortly thereafter.

Hurricane Milton moved ashore the west-central Florida coast as a category 3 hurricane on Oct 9 around 1930EST. The system continued slowly in an east-northeast trajectory across central Florida, becoming a category 1 hurricane before emerging into the Atlantic Ocean near Cape Canaveral. The outer rainbands of Milton overspread the Florida peninsula earlier in the day, leading to a prolific tornado outbreak across Okeechobee, Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River, Osceola and Brevard counties with over 19 confirmed tornadoes within a 4-hour period. Milton's slow forward motion produced very heavy rainfall, with significant urban and street flooding particularly near and north of the center's track, as well as a significant river flood event along the St. Johns. Considerable tree damage and some structural damage occurred due to the system's tropical storm force winds, and hurricane force wind gusts, particularly near and north of the track of the center.
