[Delayed Report] 4 ESE Destin [Okaloosa Co, FL] NWS Storm Survey reports Tornado at 10 May, 9:05 AM CDT -- A waterspout moved onshore in Destin over the Henderson Beach State Park tracking northward across Emerald Coast Parkway. The first location of reported damage was at the Osaka Japanese Hibachi Steakhouse & Sushi Bar where a light pole was knocked over facing northwest. Similarly, a power pole at the Mattress Firm was leaning but had not fallen. The tornado continued across the Home Goods and Tuesday Morning parking lots knocking down large tree limbs on the east side and uprooting several trees on the west side of the circulation that fell onto several cars. As the tornado continued north, it appeared to regain some intensity as it moved across Kelly Plantation golf course area. On Kelly Plantation Dr north of Stonebridge Road multiple trees were uprooted facing due west, indicating the tornado tracked just on the west side of Kelly Plantation Dr. While there have been no other reports of damage so far further north into Kelly Plantation, public video of a waterspout just offshore the north side of Destin in line with the tornado track adjacent to Mid Bay Bridge Road/293 and radar tornado debris signature lends high confidence the tornado made it across the full stretch of land before entering into Choctawhatchee Bay as a waterspout. Special thanks to Okaloosa County EMA, our media partners, and the public for providing numerous photos and videos to us to help assess this tornado.
