The tornado snapped or uprooted several trees on NE Chester Street and NE Liberty Circle. There was some minor roof damage in this quadrant of town and a few damaged outbuildings. In the center of town, near the intersection of SR 20 and SR 65, a gas station and adjacent building suffered minor roof damage. Most damage in these areas was consistent with EF- 0 or EF-1 winds.The tornado continued northeastward along SR 65 where the the highest concentration of damage was found. Damage to homes and snapped trees were noted on both sides of the highway with the trees felled in opposite directions on either side of the road. Several outbuildings were destroyed or heavily damaged. Several homes sustained roof damage on either side of the road. The most significant damage occurred just north of NE Granny Annie Road on SR 65. One single family home had the roof and back porch completely removed. An adjacent home on the same property had the roof of a second story bedroom removed with partial collapse of the walls. The tree damage in this area was also extensive. Winds in this location were estimated to be 125 mph, which justifies an EF-2 rating. The tornado continued to the northeast along SR 65 for a short while, snapping trees along the way before potentially lifting. It is possible the tornado continued east of SR 65 for a ways, but there was no way for the survey team to access these areas. && EF Scale: The Enhanced Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes into the following categories: EF0...Weak......65 to 85 mph EF1...Weak......86 to 110 mph EF2...Strong....111 to 135 mph EF3...Strong....136 to 165 mph EF4...Violent...166 to 200 mph EF5...Violent...>200 mph NOTE: The information in this statement is preliminary and subject to change pending final review of the event and publication in NWS Storm Data. $$ ====== 000 NOUS42 KTAE 282310 PNSTAE ALZ065>069-FLZ007>019-026>029-034-108-112-114-115-118-127-128-134- GAZ120>131-142>148-155>161-291115- Public Information Statement National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 710 PM EDT Fri Apr 28 2023 /610 PM CDT Fri Apr 28 2023/ ...NWS Damage Survey for April 27th Severe Weather Event... ...Updated for Lynn Haven, FL Tornado Survey... ...Lynn Haven, FL Tornado...

Kinsaul Park. The initial damage included some roof damage to a gazebo where the panels were blown off. It looks like at the strongest damage point it was estimated that the tornado was 75 yards in width. Just across from the park to the northeast, the roof of a house was nearly completely destroyed. There was a carport attached to the roof which was demolished, and the roof was then lifted off and carried across maybe 20 yards across the street and impacted another house. This second house had the cars in the driveway lifted and turned a few feet. The home suffered structural damage to the front wall with cracks spreading towards the back of the home. These two homes appeared to suffered the most direct damage. Turning north down the road, the neighborhood had similar damage to siding of the homes as most of the damage came from a southwest to northeast direction. Snapped trees, patio furniture tossed, and broken windows were the most common impacts. Near the end of the path, a large shed s roof was lifted off and carried a few feet away. About 3/4 mile northeast of the start point, the tornado likely weakened as the damage becomes more minor consisting of roof siding damage and snapped twigs. On the northern sides of homes, hail damage was evident due to hail being driven onto the sides of homes on the north side of the tornado. && EF Scale: The Enhanced Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes into the following categories: EF0...Weak......65 to 85 mph EF1...Weak......86 to 110 mph EF2...Strong....111 to 135 mph EF3...Strong....136 to 165 mph EF4...Violent...166 to 200 mph EF5...Violent...>200 mph NOTE: The information in this statement is preliminary and subject to change pending final review of the event and publication in NWS Storm Data. $$ ===== 000 NOUS42 KTAE 282107 PNSTAE FLZ016-017-290915- Public Information Statement National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 507 PM EDT Fri Apr 28 2023 ...NWS Damage Survey for April 27th severe weather event... .Updated...Gadsden and Leon County Survey Included .Gadsden County / Havana Tornado...

Damage was first noted with several trees down along Concord Road in Gadsden County. After crossing the Ochlockonee River, the area of intense winds uprooted or snapped several trees along Meridian Road about 2 miles north of Orchard Pond Parkway. The wind damage continued through Luna Plantation subdivision west of Bull Headley Road and along the south shore of Lake Iamonia. Damage in this area was large pines snapping or uprooting. One home was impacted in Luna Plantation subdivision by a falling tree. Tree limbs and other debris from the west side of Bull Headley Road impacted homes near the Chadwick Way entrance to Killearn Lakes. Four homes along the west side of Membrook Lane had roof damage, with one residence having damage to a car as well. Sporadic wind damage continued along the south shore of Lake Iamonia with several large pine trees snapped along Journeys End Road. A couple of homes sustained roof damage from tree impacts. Maximum winds of 80 mph are believed to have occurred in this portion of the damage path. A final area of damage occurred along US-319 near Cherokee Plantation Road where numerous trees were uprooted or snapped. One tree fell on a car causing 1 injury. .Killearn Lakes/Golden Eagle Straightline Wind Event / Leon County...

This damage area was distinct from the damage area along Lake Iamonia in that debris fell to the east-southeast. This is still indicative of straight line winds. Initial damage was noted along Bull Headley Road and homes on the eastern edge of the Luna Pines neighborhood. Several trees were uprooted or snapped in this area. The wind damage footprint became locally intense into Killearn Lakes along Log Ridge Trail and Copperfield Circle. Several large pines were snapped, with a few homes being impacted by these falling pines. Damage continued across Deerlake West at the intersection of Copperfield Circle. Numerous trees in the median were snapped, all pointing to the east-southeast. The damage area became less concentrated while moving across Lake Monkey Business, Lake Dianne, and into the Golden Eagle Community. Numerous trees were downed across the Golden Eagle Golf Course and at several residences within the community. A locally intense area of damage was noted on Deerlake E just east of the entrance gate to Golden Eagle. Several trees in this area were snapped, with one falling across Deerlake East. Based on the survey, no damage associated with this corridor of stronger winds reached Thomasville Road. .Thomas County Tornado No. 1...
