...NWS Damage Survey for 06/18/23 Thunderstorm Wind Event...

.Milton Area Damaging Wind Event...

National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage near 
Milton and determined it to be associated with straight line 
winds. A wide and sporadic swath of damage began just inside the 
Santa Rosa County line as a very strong bowing segment developed 
and moved to the east-southeast. Trees were downed along the swath
as it continued to the southeast and crossed Pine Blossom Road. 
The most concentrated damage occurred on the north side of Milton 
where several trees were uprooted. Damage was determined to be 
from straight line wind due to the lack of any convergence within 
the wider swath of damage. Although there may have been small 
vortices that developed on the apex of the bowing segment, there 
was no evidence to make a determination that a tornado occurred. 
Sporadic and broad tree damage continued to the southeast of 
Milton, across a wide portion of Santa Rosa County.
