| December 2012 | Tornado (EF1) | Hucomer | 2 hurt, $1,700,000 | The tornado began at US Highway 1 in Edgewater and continued northeast through the Terra Mar Village Mobile Home Park to Alice Street and Jones Fish Camp Road, then moved onto the intracoastal river as a waterspout (see 1726 LST waterspout episode). A total of 62 homes were damaged (17 with minor damage and 45 with major damage), impacting carports, awnings, roofs, power poles and lines, and numerous trees. Over 100 trees (many very large) between the mobile home park and the intracoastal river were snapped near the ground or uprooted. Metal from the mobile homes were carried far downstream. The frame of a mobile home was wrapped several times around the base of a tree. The tornado produced high-end EF0 damage within the mobile home park, then strengthened to a high-end EF1 tornado with a widening damage swath along Jones Fish Camp Road and upon approach to the intracoastal waterway. There were two very minor injuries, both treated at the scene. Maximum winds estimated at 90-110 mph. A motorist travelling on US Highway 1 videotaped the tornado crossing the highway in front of him, with debris evident within the circulation as it reached the mobile home park.
