Waterspout, Tornado Skip Through Escambia County
May 13, 2012
An apparent tornado skipped about a portion of southwest Escambia County Saturday evening.
There were no reports of any serious damage and no injuries reported.
A strong storm sparked a waterspout south of Johnson’s Beach, becoming a tornado as it moved onshore. That prompted a tornado warning for the southern portion of the county from about 7:45 until 8:30 p.m.
Members of the public, first responders and Navy personnel aboard NAS Pensacola reported seeing the apparent twister as it touched down and lifted numerous time over about a 10 minute period as it moved north at about 10 mph.
Brief touchdowns were reported during that period, with the only reported damage to a fence and mailbox at a home on Fenceline Road.
