National Weather Service damage survey concluded that a small F1 tornado briefly touched down at Jayson's Mini Storage, along the east side of U.S. Highway 41, northeast of Bayshore Road, in Palmetto, Florida.Visual observation of the damage site indicated that the tornado initially touched down and caused minor damage to a bill board sign on the east side of U.S. Highway 41, north of Jayson's Mini Storage. On the northern side of Jayson's Mini Storage, the tornado continued it's descent and briefly touched down where it lifted, tossed and demolished, a weathered travel trailer, approximately 40 yards to the south southwest from its original location. Two additional nearby weathered travel trailers were flipped over on their sides while a badly weathered storage trailer was severely damaged on it's north and west facing sides by the tornadic wind at the storage facility.The tornado then lifted and dissipated within a tenth of a mile from the initial touchdown point. However, small pieces of debris from the travel trailers, carried by the tornadic winds, were observed in a tall tree approximately 500 yards south southwest of the touchdown site.The tornado path width was estimated at ten yards at its widest point while its path length was estimated at less than a tenth of a mile. No human fatalities or injuries were reported. However, one animal, a dog that was housed near the site of the touchdown, was killed.Based on analysis of radar and satellite imagery at the time of the event, the tornado possibly formed as the result of sea breeze and multiple outflow boundary interaction from nearby shower and thunderstorm activity.
Thunderstorm winds severely damaged the roof of a restaurant on 8th Avenue West and Riverside Drive. Numerous large tree limbs and power lines were also downed by the thunderstorm winds.
Thunderstorms moved in from the Gulf of Mexico over an extended period of time causing a waterspout four miles west of Longboat Pass and a brief tornado in Palmetto. The tornado damage consisted mostly of car port damage in a mobile home park near 33rd St W and 8th Ave W, and roof damage to a canning factory on the 3600 block of U.S. Highway 41 North. Visual confirmation of the tornado was obtained from a Captain of the local fire district.
A wildfire, which ignited near the intersection of Canal Road and 33rd Street, consumed up to 40 acres of brush and timber in Palmetto. The wildfire also consumed a storage building, several junked cars and tires.
Downburst wind blew half a roof off of a mobile home in Palmetto. One tree was blown down and another fell over after being struck by lightning. The trees damaged a mobile home and a house in Bradenton. Funnel clouds were also sighted near Bradenton.
