Nokomis, the town this property stands in, in 9 storm reports between 1999 and 2022: 3 thunderstorm wind, 1 wildfire, 1 flood, 1 hail.
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.
Heavy rainfall of four to six inches in less than six hours caused localized urban street flooding from Nokomis, south across Venice, and continued south to Englewood. Several vehicles incurred water damage from urban floodwaters at low-lying intersections in Venice and Englewood.
Lightning was suspected to have caused a fire in the roof of a house in Venice. Fire crews put out the fire in the attic before it spread to the rest of the house.
There was one large tree that fell down onto a home causing some structural damage on Edmondson Road. In addition, there was some vehicle damage and damage to a carport as a large snapped tree limb fell onto it. There was some roof damage to a home on Adriatic Street, and a snapped tree caused some vehicle and structure damage on Jessica Street.
The Sarasota Sheriffs Department reported thunderstorm winds downed a few trees and power lines along King Street in Nokomis, along Giblin Drive near Acorn Street in Englewood and along Alhambra Road and Lisbon Street in Venice.
