Survey Summary: NWS survey concludes that a wide swath of damaging
winds of 65 to 75 miles per hour impacted parts of West Pensacola.
The first damage was noted near West Fairfield Dr near 52nd Ave.
As the area of winds moved south, a wider swath near 2 miles wide
developed. This wind damage was associated with a broader 
circulation and a couple small embedded tornadoes were noted. See
survey notes on the tornadoes. At Coker Ave, a large limb/tree 
fell on a manufactured home resulting in one fatality. Sporadic 
wind damage continued in a rather wide swath resulting in numerous
small and large tree branches being snapped and a few instances 
of minor roof damage. A few large signs were blown out along state
road 295 and a few windows were blow out by flying debris. Wind 
damage continued to the west of a developing tornado near the 
Pensacola County Club along Barrancas Ave before moving over 
Pensacola Bay where a 64 mph wind gust was recorded over Pensacola
Bay. The lack of convergence path, sporadic and widespread nature
of the damage resulted in the thunderstorm wind damage 
classification.
