Public reported 2-inch hail near Wauchula.

The wider storm

Shortwave disturbance over Mid-South/Tennessee Valley region and attendant surface low with cold front extending south into the Gulf of Mexico produced a mesoscale convective system (MCS) ahead of the front that moved across the eastern gulf into West-Central and Southwest Florida, spawning a tornado and multiple, separate wind damage reports along with hail. One indirect fatality resulted when a motorist exited a vehicle due to a downed tree and inadvertently contacted a live power line.

Began near Wauchula (27.5500, -81.8000).
