Event narrative

Video showed a waterspout moving onshore of the

coast in Homosassa, and that same area of rotation continued

along a nearly easterly path. This created a narrow damage path

starting across a mobile home park near Buzzard Point causing 7

structures with minor damage and 2 structures with major damage.

Several trees were then downed or snapped in the Homosassa

Springs Wildlife Park, and snapped power poles, a billboard

down, the sail of a gas station blown off, and one business

with major damage on US Highway 19 and Grover Cleveland

Boulevard before lifting.

A squall line pushed through West Central Florida on April 20th producing damaging wind gusts across the area.
