The episode as NWS MFL wrote it up.
The outer bands from Tropical Storm Debby located in the Northeast Gulf of Mexico continued to move over South Florida. Severe thunderstorms developed during the late morning into the afternoon with severe wind gusts and eight tornadoes were also spawned. The eight tornadoes that occurred over a span of four hours was the most number of tornadoes in one day over the southern Florida peninsula since October 14, 1964 when Hurricane Isbell also spawned eight tornadoes. All of the tornadoes were of EF0 intensity.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Miami, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 24, 9:40 AM EST, 20 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
1040 AM EDT SUN JUN 24 2012
...ISOLATED TORNADOES AND WATERSPOUTS POSSIBLE TODAY...
.UPDATE...DEEP LAYER MOISTURE REMAINS ENTRENCHED ACROSS THE REGION
AS TROPICAL STORM DEBBY CONTINUES TO ORGANIZE OVER THE GULF. THE
LATEST SATELLITE AND RADAR IMAGERY INDICATES SCATTERED TO
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WITH THE MOST WIDESPREAD
ACTIVITY OVER WESTERN PORTIONS. AT LEAST THREE DISCRETE CELLS
HAVE SHOWED CONSIDERABLE ROTATION OVER THE ATLANTIC AND GULF
WATERS THIS MORNING. THE LOW LEVEL ENVIRONMENT AND WIND FIELD
WILL REMAIN SUPPORTIVE FOR THE FORMATION OF ISOLATED WATERSPOUTS
AND TORNADOES THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY. WHILE CLOUD COVER WILL
LIMIT OVERALL DESTABILIZATION, THE TRACK AND SLOW MOVEMENT OF
DEBBY WILL BRING AT LEAST WEAKLY ORGANIZED FEEDER BANDS THROUGH
THE AREA. ISOLATED TORNADOES COULD EASILY FORM WITH THE MORE
CELLULAR STORMS WITHIN THESE BANDS. IN ADDITION, A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS COULD CONTAIN VERY HEAVY RAINFALL AND GUSTY WINDS
OF 50 TO 55 MPH. OVERALL, THE SHORT TERM FORECAST IS ON TRACK,
WITH JUST MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO ACCOUNT FOR THE LATEST TRENDS.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 718 AM EDT SUN JUN 24 2012/
AVIATION... EXPECT THE CLOUDY CONDITIONS WITH ELEVATED RAIN
CHANCES TO PERSIST THROUGH THE 24 HR TAF CYCLE AND BEYOND AS
PLENTY OF DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE STREAMS NORTH OVER THE LOCAL
AREA. PERIODS WITH SUB VFR CIGS/VSBYS WILL BE EXPECTED IN AND
AROUND THE AREAS OF SHOWERS THAT DEVELOP THROUGH THIS PERIOD. AT
THIS TIME...EXPECT MOST OF THE COVERAGE TO REMAIN IN THE FORM OF
LIGHT RAIN WITH SOME EMBEDDED HEAVIER SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY A
STORM OR TWO THROUGH THE COURSE OF THE PERIOD...ESPECIALLY
THROUGH THE LATE MORNING THROUGH THE EVENING PERIOD. WINDS WILL
REMAIN OUT OF THE SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE PERIOD AND WILL REMAIN
GUSTY THROUGH THE DAY...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE GULF COAST NEAR THE
APF TERMINAL.
PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 343 AM EDT SUN JUN 24 2012/
DISCUSSION...MODEL DIFFERENCES CONTINUE TO MAKE A HIGHLY
UNCERTAIN FORECAST. IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME THAT THIS FORECASTER
CAN REMEMBER THAT THERE BEING SUCH LARGE DIFFERENCES ENTERING THE
SHORT TERM BETWEEN THE GFS AND ECMWF. BOTH MODELS ARE INSISTING
ON COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS TO THE EVOLUTION OF T.S. DEBBY
WITH THE ECMWF DRIFTING THE SYSTEM TO THE NORTH AND THEN TURNING
TO THE WEST LATE TODAY OR EARLY MONDAY. THE GFS ON THE OTHER HAND
TAKES DEBBY TO THE NORTH AND STALLS IT OVER THE NORTHEAST GULF
AND THEN MOVES IT ACROSS N FL ON TUESDAY. THE GFS SOLUTION STILL
SEEMS MORE UNBELIEVABLE DUE TO THE FACT THAT BOTH MODELS AGREE
THAT A RIDGE WILL BUILD TO THE NORTH OF DEBBY AS A LARGE MID
LEVEL TROUGH BUILDS OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC AND THIS WOULD STEER
DEBBY TO THE WEST. AT ANY RATE, HAVE CONTINUED THE FCST TREND AND
GOING WITH THE ECMWF SOLUTION AND THE IMPACTS OF THIS SCENARIO
WILL KEEP THE THREAT FOR LOCALIZED HEAVY RAINFALL THROUGH TODAY
AND THEN BEGIN TO HAVE A LESSER CHANCE FOR CONVECTION FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE WEEK. ALSO HAVE A THREAT FOR AN ISOLATED STRONG
TSRA AS OUTER BANDS OF DEBBY MOVE ONSHORE OF THE SW CST THROUGH
THIS AFTERNOON.
RAINFALL TOTALS THROUGH EARLY MONDAY WILL LIKELY BE THE HEAVIEST
ALONG THE COASTAL COLLIER COUNTY REGION WITH ONE TO THREE INCHES
POSSIBLE AND EVEN A LOCALIZED HEAVIER AMOUNT UP TO FIVE INCHES
CANNOT BE RULED OUT. THERE IS A TEMPORARY LULL CURRENTLY WITH
JUST A BAND OF LIGHT RAIN MOVING ONSHORE NEAR NAPLES AND THIS
EXTENDS SOUTHWEST INTO THE GULF WATERS. HOWEVER, IR AND WATER
VAPOR SATELLITE IMAGES INDICATE HEAVIER CONVECTION TO THE WEST OF
KEY AND THIS WILL LIKELY IMPACT THE SOUTHERN PENINSULA LATER THIS
MORNING.
MARINE...A SOUTHEAST WIND HAS INCREASED OVER THE OFFSHORE GULF
WATERS AND THESE WINDS WILL BE IN THE RANGE OF 20-25 KT THROUGH
MONDAY AND 15-20 KT OVER THE REMAINDER OF THE GULF WATERS AND
10-15 KT OVER THE ATLANTIC WATERS AND LAKE OKEECHOBEE. ADVISORY
LEVEL SEAS WILL PERSIST OVER THE OFFSHORE GULF WATERS THROUGH
MONDAY WITH EXERCISE CAUTION STATEMENTS ELSEWHERE. CONDITIONS
WILL BEGIN TO IMPROVE LATE TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY.
FIRE WEATHER...NO PROBLEMS WITH AMPLE TROPICAL MOISTURE IN PLACE.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR SOUTH FLORIDA. .DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT TORNADOES: ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE TODAY AND TONIGHT ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION. WATERSPOUTS: ISOLATED WATERSPOUTS ARE POSSIBLE OVER THE LOCAL WATERS TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT. FLOODING: STREET FLOODING OR FLOODING OF LOW LYING AREAS, ESPECIALLY WITHIN URBAN LOCALES WILL REMAIN A POSSIBILITY WHERE ANY HEAVY RAINFALL BECOMES CONCENTRATED. THUNDERSTORMS: ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE. THE PRIMARY IMPACTS WILL BE OCCASIONAL LIGHTNING STRIKES, LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL, AND GUSTY WINDS OF 45 TO 55 MPH. WIND: SUSTAINED WINDS WILL AVERAGE 20 TO 25 KNOTS OVER THE GULF WATERS, WHERE A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT. IN ADDITION, GUSTY WINDS OF 45 TO 55 MPH COULD OCCUR AT ANY LOCATION WITH A FEW SHOWERS OR STORMS. WAVES: SEAS MAY EXCEED 9 FEET OVER THE OFFSHORE GULF WATERS, WELL WEST OF NAPLES. RIP CURRENTS: THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS AT THE GULF COAST BEACHES, WITH A SLIGHT RISK ALONG THE ATLANTIC COAST. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY PLENTY OF MOISTURE WILL KEEP THE RAINFALL CHANCES UP THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEK AS TROPICAL STORM DEBBY BEGINS TO TRACK WEST ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF COAST STATES AWAY FROM OUR LOCAL AREA. A RETURN TO NEAR NORMAL CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE BY THE END OF THE WEEK. RIP CURRENT RISK WILL REMAIN ELEVATED INTO THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEK ALONG THE GULF COAST DUE TO MODERATE SOUTHERLY WINDS AND A NORTHWEST SWELL. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... WIDESPREAD SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED, ALTHOUGH SPOTTERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO REPORT FLOODING OR SEVERE WEATHER TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MIAMI.

GARCIAThe Tampa radar (KTBW), 130 km away, was scanning. The volume nearest the first event began at 15:02 UTC.
8 tornado, 2 funnel cloud, 1 thunderstorm wind. Local standard time, as filed.
Glades County Sheriffs Office reported a brief tornado touchdown near Pine Avenue in the community of Muse. A member of the public reported that a barn roof was torn off.
Storm spotter videos, observations and Doppler radar data indicated that a waterspout moving NNE over Sullivan Bay passed about 3 miles east of Cape Romano then moved over Blackwater Bay and onto the mainland three miles east of Goodland. The tornado was captured on video crossing US 41 near a roadside picnic area about 1/2 mile east of the Collier-Seminole State Park entrance. Damage was confined to trees in a non-populated area of the Everglades.
A member of the public reported two funnel clouds near the intersection of Glades Road and the Florida Turnpike in Boca Raton.
A trained spotter observed a tornado just north of Alligator Alley about 10 miles west of State Road 29. This tornado was likely spawned by the same storm that produced the earlier tornado in southern Collier County.
A brief tornado touchdown occurred and damage was confined to a few homes on North A Street and 15th Avenue, between US 1 and I-95. Damage was minor and consisted primarily of vegetation and debris from a nearby park.
A trained spotter observed a tornado while driving on Immokalee Road. The tornado crossed Immokalee Road west of Everglades Boulevard. It remained over mainly unpopulated area with no reports of damage. The tornado lifted before 1130 AM EST.
A member of the Civil Air Patrol reported a funnel cloud at the Lantana Airport moving northward.
A trained spotter reported a wind gust of 62 mph. This gust was measured using a handheld anemometer. The location was in Hollywood Beach near Hollywood Boulevard and A1A.
First report of damage was to a carport south of Okeechobee Boulevard and east of I-95. The tornado traveled through a warehouse district just south of Okeechobee Boulevard and east of Australian Avenue, damaging roofs and doors to a warehouse building. The tornado then crossed Okeechobee Boulevard and traveled between Australian and Tamarind Avenues, damaging trees and knocking down a large metal gate at the West Palm Beach train station. A railroad crossing arm was broken at Tamarind Avenue and Banyan Boulevard. Discontinuous path of 1.2 miles and tornado width of probably no more than 30 yards. Maximum winds were likely in the upper end of EF0 scale (75-85 mph), with most areas along the path probably experiencing low end EF0 winds (65-75 mph).
The Golden Beach Police Department reported a waterspout moving onshore at the 400 block of Ocean Boulevard and quickly moving north along the beach side of Ocean Boulevard to the Broward County line. Path was approximately 0.5 miles. Beach chairs were tossed about 30 feet in the air, damage to trees and a hut in the 400-500 block of Ocean Boulevard. Most damage occurred at 625 Ocean Boulevard where doors and a large metal gate were blown down and twisted, along with tree branches snapped.
Glades County Sheriff's Office reported a tornado crossing Bermont Road (SR 74) about a mile southwest of Palmdale. No known damage due to tornado moving over unpopulated area west of US 27 just west of the town of Palmdale.
