EF1 tornado in Gadsden County, Florida

This is a continuation of the tornado from Calhoun and Liberty counties. The last portion of the damage path was in southwest Gadsden County where the tornado briefly intensified and the damage path narrowed. Another corridor of more significant tree damage was noted near Sycamore Road and Winding Creek Road. Numerous trees were snapped or uprooted, and several power poles were snapped. A few homes in this area had some minor damage to the exterior of the structure. Damage in this area was rated EF1. The damage path quickly narrowed thereafter, and the damage became more sporadic, with the last damaged noted along Flat Creek Road just east of Audie Clark Road.

With a total damage path length of 22.3 miles, this was the longest tornado path in the NWS Tallahassee County Warning Area (CWA) since March 1, 2007 (two tornadoes with about a 30mi path length in SE Alabama and SW Georgia during that event).

This is also the longest tornado path in the state of Florida since a February 1, 2007 tornado in Lake and Volusia Counties in central Florida (26 miles).

A strong upper level trough and surface cold front moved through the region, bringing a round of severe weather across the area. Isolated supercells developed ahead of the main squall line, and one produced an EF2 tornado in Florida which was the longest continuous damage path in Florida since the Central Florida outbreak of February 1, 2007.
