Everglades City, the town this property stands in, in 7 storm reports between 1993 and 2024: 3 tornado, 2 thunderstorm wind, 1 hail, 1 flash flood.
No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
An EF0 Tornado touched down at the Everglades City Airport, flipping two Cessna Aircrafts while moving northeast. The tornado then moved across western sections of Everglades City producing roof and minor structural damage to a condo, school, and storage building and also downing trees and power poles and damaging fences before dissipating on the north side of town.
Public aerial drone footage revealed a flooded Everglades City with a large amount of standing water on the ground and entering resident homes. The 48 hour rainfall totals in Everglades City reached up to 14 inches on June 11 and 12th. Other areas across Collier County were highly impacted and received up to 20 inches of rain throughout the 72 hour event from June 11 though 13th. With several rounds of heavy rainfall, there was 19.72 of rain measured at the Oasis RAWS in southeastern Collier County.
Members of the public shared video of the tornadoes it passed near Everglades City after coming ashore. The survey observed a leaning power pole along Tamiami Trail just east of the intersection with State Road 29. The damage was tornadic in nature and matches with radar velocity/reflectivity at the time as a strong circulation passed over. Estimated peak wind of 85 mph.
