From Nokomis, Florida to Canoe, Alabama, powerful winds left great damage in multiple areas.
"While a tornado warning was in effect at the time, a National Weather Service survey team determined the damage was not caused by a twister. According to the NWS, the team found evidence consistent with downburst straight-line winds, with the strongest winds blowing from the south-southwest to north-northeast. The weather service said wind speeds were estimated to range from 86 to 110 mph."
Below is a picture of a store that was pummeled by the wind--almost flattened!
'"It started raining hard and getting loud,” said Charlene Johnson, who was at worked at a gas station very near the Burke’s store. “I locked the door and seen a dark black mass pass by right in front of me..it shook the store."'
