05/25/2022                   ESCAMBIA           FL   NWS STORM SURVEY

            A STORM SURVEY TEAM FOUND SCATTERED
            LOCATIONS OF WIND DAMAGE ACROSS THE
            PENSACOLA/FERRY PASS AREAS IN AND AROUND THE
            VICINITY OF NORTH DAVIS DR. FOR MUCH OF THIS
            DAMAGE, A CLEAR CONVERGENT TRACK COULD NOT
            BE IDENTIFIED AND APPEARS TO BE THE RESULT
            OF STRAIGHT LINE WINDS OF 60 TO 80 MPH.
            NEARBY PENSACOLA INTERNATIONAL MEASURED A
            THUNDERSTORM WIND GUST OF 59 MPH AS THE LINE
            OF STORMS MOVED THROUGH. WINDS APPEARED TO
            STRENGTHEN NEAR NORTH DAVIS DR TO THE SOUTH
            OF I-10 AND THIS HELPED TO GENERATE A BRIEF
            EF-1 TORNADO IN THE E OLIVE RD/WHITMIRE DR
            AREAS. THE TORNADO APPEARED TO FIRST
            ORGANIZE AND TOUCH DOWN NEAR OR ON THE
            PROPERTY OF OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH. THE
            TORNADO MOVED TO THE NORTHWEST AND REACHED
            ITS PEAK INTENSITY ALONG WHITMIRE DR WHERE
            CLEAR CONVERGENCE WAS NOTED. THIS WAS AN
            AREA OF MORE CONCENTRATED TREE AND POWER
            LINE DAMAGE. AN RV CAMPER WAS ALSO FLIPPED
            OVER AND A SHED SUFFERED SOME MINOR ROOF
            DAMAGE. THE TORNADO APPEARED TO LIFT AS IT
            REACHED E JOHNSON AVE. FURTHER TO THE NORTH,
            ADDITIONAL POCKETS OF SPOTTY WIND DAMAGE
            WERE NOTED NORTH TO THE 9 MILE ROAD AREA.
