Tornado in Florida, January 15, 1997

A weak F1 tornado touched down just northeast of Wright Basin. Numerous trees were blown down and several homes were damaged. One home had most of its roof taken off. Numerous boathouses were destroyed with several boats torn from their moorings. The tornado then skipped northeast and damaged two hangars at Milton airport. Two ultra light planes inside one of the hangars suffered damage. The tornado continued northeast and again touched down along Stagecoach Road. A chain-link fence and several trees were blown down. A travel trailer was moved three feet with pots and pans inside the trailer sucked out of the cabinets and thrown onto the floor. The tornado then blew shingles from a couple of homes as it moved northeast. Just before lifting back into the cloud, the tornado flipped two vehicles parked at a home. The first, a pickup truck, was flipped two times and came to rest in a field on its wheels. The second, a Lincoln Continental, was flipped over on its top and came to rest against a tree. Both vehicles were destroyed. A couple of residents referred to the tornado sound as a sonic boom.
