Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm 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 local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Tallahassee, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 21, 3:17 PM EDT, 3 hours 48 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 21, 3:17 PM EDT, 3 hours 48 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL 317 PM EDT Sat Jun 21 2014 .Near Term [Through Tonight]... Afternoon convection will diminish after sunset, with little synoptic forcing to keep it going without daytime heating. Best rain chances through early evening will be in corridor from SE Alabama into the eastern Big Bend. .Short Term [Sunday Through Monday Night]... A couple of weak shortwaves will result in above average rain chances along and away from the seabreezes each afternoon. The greater coverage of showers and thunderstorms will mean slightly cooler afternoon temperatures than recent days. Expect middle 90s to be common area-wide. .Long Term [Tuesday Through Saturday]... A series of weak shortwaves around the base of a broad trough will continue the trend of above average rain chances through mid to late week. Towards the end of the week models show an area of low pressure lifting out of the Gulf, though the exact placement is disagreed upon. Nonetheless, there remains a potential for high rain chances along the Gulf coast towards the end of the week. && .Aviation... [Through 18Z Sunday] Scattered thunderstorms will impact area terminals through the early evening, with gusty winds possible. Otherwise, VFR conditions should prevail through the forecast period outside of brief MVFR visibility around sunrise. && .Marine... The northern Gulf will generally be dominated by high pressure and southwesterly flow for several days. Wind and seas should remain below headline levels. && .Fire Weather... Hazardous fire weather conditions are not expected through next week. && .Hydrology... All area rivers remain below action stage this afternoon. Even with higher than average rain chances over the next several days, the QPF amounts should not result in significant river rises. && .Preliminary Point Temps/PoPs...
