WhenEvent Place namedHarm What the report says
September 2000Thunderstorm WindPine Grove$1,000Thunderstorm winds blew down large trees onto power lines in Pine Grove.
August 2025Tornado (EFU)Pine Grove-A brief tornado occurred over northern rural Osceola County as confirmed by a combination of video evidence from local media partners and data from the National Weather Service Melbourne (KMLB) radar. ||The brief, and likely weak, tornado developed as a result of numerous low-level boundary collisions. The circulation is estimated to have touched down at approximately 18:14 LST along the southern side of Lake Joel in St. Cloud, near Sungrove Ln and |the C-32 Canal. KMLB radar data indicates the circulation, along with a corresponding debris signature, moved east over a densely wooded area before subsequently lifting around 18:22 LST, just west of Storey Bend Rd. ||Given limited access to the affected area, the track is considered approximate, and an EF rating cannot be provided.
June 2018Thunderstorm WindPine Grove-A trained spotter reported two 30-foot tall pine trees were knocked down by a severe thunderstorm. The spotter also mentioned the trees had a diameter of 8 inches. Winds are estimated at 60 mph.
