A small tornado hop-scotched along a 3-mile path in Fort Lauderdale causing extensive roof damage and broken windows to approximately 8 homes and an apartment complex. Several cars were damaged or destroyed by flying debris or falling trees. About one-third of the surface of the roof of a Broward County Public Library was ripped off. Windows in a nearby shopping center were blown out. Two minor injuries from flying glass were reported.
