Fruitland Park, the town this property stands in, in 13 storm reports between 1997 and 2024: 8 thunderstorm wind, 2 lightning, 2 hail, 1 tornado.
The reports record 6 injuries. 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.
Five teenage boys were injured as they passed by a large tree that was struck by lightning. All five were knocked to the ground and were transported by ambulance to a local hospital. One boy received a serious cut on his neck from flying chips of wood when the tree was struck. The other four received minor injuries.
A 31 year old Fruitland Park man was struck and injured by lightning while he was in his home. The lightning apparently came through a glass window and struck the man. He was knocked unconscious and transported to a local hospital.
Emergency Management officials provided detailed wind damage reports which occurred along a 4.35 mile long south-to-north path from Fruitland Park to Lady Lake, parallel to and just west of U.S. Highway 441. The damage consisted mainly of downed trees, branches and powerlines, although two homes in Lady Lake sustained structural damage due to falling trees. The most significant damage occurred on the east side of the tornado track, due to the rapid storm motion of 60 mph. The discontinuous damage path began near the College Avenue and W Miller Street in Fruitland Park and ended in Lady Lake, about midway between the Recreation Plantation RV Resort and Highway 441. A review of all available data suggests that the wind damage was likely the result of a EF-0 tornado (winds estimated 70-75 mph). Isolated tree damage south and north of the tornado track was likely due to strong straight-line winds associated with the cell. DI2, DOD1, EXP; DI27, DOD2, EXP; DI27, DOD3, LB.
Lake County Emergency Management reported a couple of fallen trees and minor structural damage in Fruitland Park. Large tree branches blocked a portion of Linmar Ave and Spring Lake Rd. Time estimated via radar.
A trained weather spotter reported that wind downed thick trees and that shingle and soffit damage occurred to several homes near Ulrick Street in Fruitland Acres. Photographs were also received of roof damage to a nearby church. The wind damage likely resulted from a microburst.
Lake County Emergency Management reported several trees downed by thunderstorm winds in Fruitland Park. The tree damage occurred along Sail Fish Avenue, Robin Drive, and Old Hickory Lane.
