|---|---|---|---|---|
| June 2012 | Tornado (EF0) | Deer Park | - | The second of three tornadoes associated with a Tropical Storm Debby mini-supercell that traveled from northern Okeechobee County to northern Brevard County produced a short damage path through a wooded area within the Kempfer Ranch and Deseret Ranch in far eastern Osceola County, about 1 mile north of Highway 192. The damage path cut through an area of mainly pine trees, damaged a fence, and displaced a pile of aluminum pipes downstream. The damage location was also consistent with a very strong rotational signature, reflectivity hook echo and tornado debris signature on dual-pol radar data. An Osceola County Emergency Management Official surveyed the damage path and provided details and damage photos. DI28 DOD2 LB-EXP. |
