At least five tornadoes have been confirmed after a round of severe weather moved through the Deep South Sunday night into Monday, and at least one of these storms caused serious damage to structures in the Florida Panhandle.
"A powerful jet stream, relatively warm, humid air and low-level wind shear ahead of a cold front combined to spawn supercell thunderstorms, a few of which spun up tornadoes in the Deep South," said weather.com senior meteorologist Jon Erdman. "November is notorious for tornadoes in the Deep South."
The severe weather comes on a day when the Ohio Valley pauses to mark one year since a tornado outbreak scarred parts of Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio, spawning several violent tornadoes on a Sunday afternoon.
