Event narrative

A brief tornado impacted the west side of the Warrington

community (near the Beach Haven area) early in the morning on May

10th. The tornado began near Selma St and rapidly moved to the

northeast as it crossed Gulf Beach Hwy. Small tree limbs were

scattered along Gulf Beach Hwy between S Fairfield Dr and Rentz

Ave. A corridor of tree damage was noted along several streets to

the north of Gulf Beach Hwy. Trees were uprooted and snapped

along both Rentz and Calhoun Ave, with tree branch debris noted

up and down the streets. The more significant corridor of damage

was noted near Graupera St and Rentz Ave, where uplift of a porch

awning led to roof damage to one home, with nearby roof damage to

an outbuilding/shed and windows broken at another nearby home.

Trees were snapped and uprooted near the aforementioned

intersection. The tornado continued up Rentz Ave, with tree

branch debris noted up and down the street. The tornado likely

lifted near Rentz Ave and Eliasberg St as the tree damage became

very sporadic to that intersection. Future adjustments to the

track are possible as higher-resolution satellite imagery becomes

available.

Multiple supercell thunderstorms moved onshore and produced damaging winds and tornadoes.
