Storms Down Trees, Damage At Least One Home In Gonzalez; Lightning Strikes Mobile Home
April 10, 2021
Storms downed trees in Gonzalez early Saturday morning, damaging at least one home, and lightning struck a mobile home south of Century.
A resident of Countri Lane said they “definitely had a wake up call with what we thought was a tornado” Saturday morning. A large tree branch from a neighboring yard crashing into the home, damaging the soffit and fascia on the roofline, and breaking a window.
The railroad crossing arms on Countri Lane were also damaged by the wind.
Lightning struck a mobile home in the 5000 block of Dawson Road about 8:30 a.m., sparking a small fire that was extinguished by the resident. Escambia Fire Rescue responded.

I also had a large tall tree that snapped off at the top. One thing I fear more then anything is a tornado. And I prayed that one would not touch down and wiped us out. I was frozen in fear.
The clubhouse at Cypress Lakes golf course was severely damaged also.

That was quite the storm. There was one point where I think it gusted to around 60mph.
