The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.
Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this tornado warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.
The watch it was issued in

Area forecast discussion, Aug 18, 2:37 PM EDT, 15 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
237 PM EDT MON AUG 18 2008
.DISCUSSION...T.S. FAY BEGINNING TO MOVE INTO THE FL STRAITS AND
THIS TREND APPEARS TO BE RIGHT ON TRACK WITH THE CURRENT FCST FROM
NHC/TPC. THIS WILL BRING ABUNDANT RAINFALL ACROSS S FL AS CLEARLY
EVIDENT ON SATELLITE IMAGERY AND KAMX 88-D AS WELL AS SURROUNDING
RADARS. WINDS WILL ALSO BE ON THE INCREASE AS FAY PASSES NEAR KEY
WEST AND THEN OFF THE SW CST OF THE PENINSULA AS THE STORM TURNS
MORE TO THE NORTH IN DIRECTION ACROSS THE GULF COASTAL REGION OF
THE CWA. THIS PLACES ALL OF S FLA IN THE NE QUADRANT OF THE STORM
WHICH FAVORS INCREASING SHEAR AND THE THREAT FOR TORNADOES. ALL
ADVISORIES THAT HAVE BEEN ISSUED AND MAV GUIDANCE ALSO APPEARS TO
BE IN LINE WITH THE CURRENT FCST SO THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT NOT MANY
CHANGES TO WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN STATED. BEYOND TUESDAY NIGHT IS
REALLY UP IN THE AIR AT THIS TIME. THE GFS AND NAM HAVE THE SYSTEM
MOVING ACROSS THE FL PENINSULA AND BY WEDNESDAY EMERGES IN THE
ATLANTIC AND THEN STALLS WITH THE GFS TAKING IT BACK TO THE WEST
INTO THE NE GULF BY NEXT WEEKEND. THE ECMWF ALSO STALLS FAY IN THE
ATLANTIC AND THEN DRIFTS IT BACK TO THE NW INTO THE SE U.S. SO
WITH SUCH HUGE DIFFERENCES IN THE EXTENDED, DO NOT PLAN TO MAKE
CHANGES AT THIS TIME AND WILL LEAN BACK TOWARDS CLIMO.
&&
.AVIATION...OUTER RAINBANDS FROM TROPICAL STORM FAY ARE ALREADY
BEGINNING TO AFFECT PORTIONS OF THE SOUTH FLORIDA TRACONS THIS
AFTERNOON...BUT CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO INCLUDE MORE THAN
VCTS/CB AT THIS TIME. OTHERWISE...EXPECT VFR CIGS TO DEVELOP OVER
ALL TERMINALS IN ADVANCE OF APPROACHING TROPICAL SYSTEM...AND
GRADUALLY LOWER THROUGH END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD...WITH MVFR
CIGS ANTICIPATED BY LATE MONDAY MORNING. RAIN/THUNDERSTORM CHANCES
WILL ALSO BE ON THE INCREASE...BUT WILL ONLY INCLUDE VCSH AT THIS
TIME DUE TO UNCERTAINTIES IN TIMING. SURFACE WINDS WILL VEER FROM
E TO SE BY END OF FORECAST...WITH SPEEDS ALSO INCREASING TO 15G25
KNOTS.
&&
.MARINE...AS FAY MOVES ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY
MORNING ROUGH MARINE CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED. SEAS ARE EXPECTED
TO BUILD TO AROUND 12 FEET IN THE GULF COASTAL WATERS AND TO
AROUND 10 OR 11 FEET IN THE ATLANTIC COASTAL WATERS BY TONIGHT. THE
SYSTEM WILL EXIT WEDNESDAY MORNING WITH DECREASING SEAS AS IT DOES
SO.
