Deaths and injuries are direct and indirect together, as the offices filed them. Damage is property and crops in the dollars of the year, not adjusted for inflation, and only where an office estimated it.
The episode as NWS JAX wrote it up.
The combination of passing upper level short wave energy...lingering low level outflow boundaries from prior convective activity...and the sea breezes spawned scattered severe storms during the afternoon and early evening.
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 Jacksonville, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 25, 12:53 PM EST, 3 hours 57 minutes earlier.
