What the National Weather Service wrote
Satellite and radar analyses indicate a tornado touched down south west of Sweet Lake. The tornado moved northeast towards Sweet Lake where a very marked and narrow corridor of damage to vegetation could be seen. This portion of the damage path coincides with maximum intensity of a radar observed tornado debris signature. Damage to vegetation continued east of Sweet Lake as the tornado crossed the Intracoastal Waterway. Damage becomes sparse between the waterway and HWY 27 where the tornado dissipated.
