Photos were shared via social media of damage to several sheds at a local business in Waycross along Havanna Ave and Memorial Dr. Multiple sheds were flipped over and lost their metal roofs. Metal scaffolding along Brunel St was bent in the strong winds. Multiple trees were down across Waycross with one falling on a car near Havanna Ave and on a house. Time was estimated via radar.

The wider storm

On June 10th, an inverted trough over the Atlantic Ocean waters adjacent to the northeast Florida and southeast Georgia waters developed coastal showers that moved onshore in the overnight into morning hours. Showers interacted with the land breeze creating a convergent line of heavy showers that caused flooding along the coast. Moist west-southwest flow then developed resulting in typical summertime sea breeze thunderstorms each afternoon into evening for the next several days. The strongest storms were along the sea breeze collisions near HWY 301 and U.S. Route 23.

Began near Waycross (31.2000, -82.3300).
