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.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 15, 9:38 AM EST, 2 hours 9 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAMPA BAY RUSKIN FL
938 AM EST FRI JAN 15 2016
...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE TODAY MAINLY ALONG THE
COAST...AND ALONG/SOUTH OF I-4...
...GALE WARNING TODAY NORTHERN/CENTRAL WATERS...
...MINOR COASTAL FLOODING POSSIBLE TODAY CITRUS AND LEVY COUNTIES...
...LAKE WIND ADVISORY TODAY...
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY AND HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS TODAY...
.MORNING UPDATE...
A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CONTINUES TO IMPACT THE
REGION...WITH WIDESPREAD RAIN AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
THE EASTERN GULF AND FLORIDA PENINSULA. A NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST
ORIENTED LINE OF STORMS CONTINUES TO MARCH EASTWARD FROM THE
FLORIDA BIG BEND INTO THE FAR EASTERN GULF. THIS FEATURE WILL
CONTINUE ITS EASTWARD MOVEMENT...AFFECTING ALL OF WEST CENTRAL AND
SOUTHWEST FLORIDA BY THIS AFTERNOON. ADDITIONALLY...FURTHER
SOUTH...WHERE SLIGHTLY BETTER INSTABILITY EXISTS...A FEW DISCRETE
STORMS HAVE DEVELOPED OVER THE WATERS. AS THESE MOVE EASTWARD
TOWARD THE SOUTHWEST FLORIDA COAST...THEY HAVE SHOWN A GENERAL
WEAKENING TREND. THIS IS PROBABLY DUE TO THE COOLER SHELF WATERS
NEAR THE COAST. SHOULD THESE STORMS MANAGE TO HOLD TOGETHER AS
THEY APPROACH THE COAST...THEY WILL HAVE THE BETTER CHANCE OF
PRODUCING STRONG/DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND POSSIBLY A TORNADO.
ELSEWHERE...STRONG GUSTY WINDS WILL ACCOMPANY ANY STRONGER
STORMS...AS A STRONG LOW LEVEL JET EXISTS JUST OFF THE SURFACE.
IN ADDITION TO THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG/POSSIBLY SEVERE
STORMS...A BEVY OF MARINE HAZARDS WILL PERSIST. MARINE WINDS OF 25
TO 35 KNOTS...WITH GUSTS OF 40 KNOTS WILL PERSIST OVER THE
NORTHERN AND CENTRAL WATERS. A GALE WARNING WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT
THROUGH AT LEAST MID AFTERNOON...ALONG WITH SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
OVER THE SOUTHERN WATERS. THE STRONG WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO
GENERATE DANGEROUS WAVES AND SWELL...LEADING TO HIGH SURF AND A
HIGH CHANCE OF DEADLY RIP CURRENTS AT AREA BEACHES.
THIS WILL ALL WRAP UP FAIRLY QUICKLY THIS AFTERNOON...AS A FRONT
SWEEPS EAST ACROSS THE PENINSULA...AND A DRIER MORE STABLE AIRMASS
OVERSPREADS THE REGION.
&&
.AVIATION (12Z TAFS)...
THE MAIN IMPACT TO TERMINALS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WILL BE
PERIODS OF SHRA/TSRA...WITH POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT REDUCTIONS
IN VSBYS TO 1 MI OR LESS AT TIMES. IFR CIGS MAY ALSO EXIST WITHIN
HEAVIER SHOWERS/STORMS...ALONG WITH STRONG GUSTY WINDS. THIS
AFTERNOON...A FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA...BRINGING WESTERLY
WINDS AND DRIER CONDITIONS...AND LIKELY A RETURN TO VFR CONDITIONS
BY 00Z SATURDAY.
&&
.MARINE...
THE POTENTIAL FOR GALE TO SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WINDS WILL
CONTINUE INTO THIS AFTERNOON. ADDITIONALLY...LARGE SWELL AND HIGH
WAVES WILL LINGER ACROSS THE WATERS INTO THIS EVENING. THIS WILL
ALL LEAD TO A CONTINUATION OF DANGEROUS BOATING CONDITIONS THROUGH
THE REMAINDER OF TODAY. BY TONIGHT...WHILE HIGH WAVES MAY PERSIST
FOR A TIME...WINDS SHOULD DECREASE FAIRLY QUICKLY AS THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT SLACKENS. RATHER LIGHT WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
SATURDAY...UNTIL ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM APPROACHES LATE SATURDAY
INTO SUNDAY...WHEN CAUTIONARY TO ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS WILL BE
POSSIBLE. AS WE HEAD INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...A STRONG AREA OF HIGH
PRESSURE WILL GRADUALLY BUILD INTO THE REGION...WITH SEVERAL DAYS
OF ELEVATED NORTHERLY WINDS POSSIBLE. AT LEAS PERIODS OF
CAUTIONARY WINDS APPEAR PROBABLE DURING THIS TIME...WITH
EVENTUALLY FALLING BELOW HEADLINE CRITERIA BY MID WEEK.
