I dd not see any mention of this storm, yesterday we had some waterspouts come ashore and damage 150 home and destroyed a few mobile homes.
no fatalities thank goodness.

lots of video and pictures of the tornado online:

We have had some fairly decent pop up storms the last 2 days, southeast of my house we had some nice towers with a pretty decent lightshow and some mammatus.

Very nice: looks like the video shows the second funnel around 3 minutes?

I briefly looked at that storm on radar during the warning, noticed the SRV contrast was intriguing but didn't post anything (still on vacation in CA is part of the mindset, and also seems like these FL storms are hit/miss in terms of warning vs. action, but maybe that's not that different from elsewhere, though everything seems to end quick in FL from my limited time trying to learn about it). Interesting how no meso markers were on that, at least at the time I was looking, but that video shows a nice wrap. Thanks for sharing this.

I was in New Smyrna on vacation and headed north for a quick chase. Didn't see much. I'll post a report and pics in a few hours. Just walked in the door here in Atlanta.
