Info
A waterspout moved ashore in southeastern Big Pine Key and picked up a ground deck and four kayaks, throwing them at least 30 yards (27 m). The tornado was at its strongest point at this point. A large cistern containing nearly 200 US gallons (760 L) of water was moved just over 15 yards (14 m), knocking a large camping trailer off of its front mount. Bolts securing a large grill to ground decking were snapped, while numerous tables and lounge chairs were carried across the area. One of the chairs caused gutter damage to a house. Small gravel and peak rock along the waterfront caused moderate to severe paint chipping on the ocean side of several homes. Screens (including their wood frames) were torn off of several homes, with one home losing siding on the ocean side. As the tornado moved east-northeast, more lawn furniture was tossed and wooden signs were downed. It then overturned several tents at a campground before dissipating, as the tornado had become steadily weaker since it came ashore. Many trees and power lines were downed along the path.
