| October 2024 | Tornado (EF1) | Goodno | $15,000 | A tornado formed around 10:30 AM EST as a supercell traveled northward into extreme southeastern Hendry County. Although there were no eyewitness reports of a tornado, a National Weather Service survey team was able to find scattered areas of utility pole damage. Coincide with one area of pole damage was a tornadic debris signature (TDS) as the tornado crossed State Route 80 at the Hendry/Glades County line around 10:55 AM EST. After traveling 10.29 miles northwest across southern Glades County, the TDS dissipated and the last damage was identified just south of Palmdale in the form of broken tree branches. The tornado was rated as an EF-1, after traveling a total 29.89 miles, with an estimated maximum winds around 110 mph. |
