Survey Summary: During the early morning hours of April 15th, an 
EF-O tornado with max winds of 75 mph touched down about in the 
Biscayne Downs Subdivision near the Broward River just west of 
Interstate 95. The tornado knocked trees down along Sarasota Lane
and Secretariat Drive North and destroyed a sunroom along Riva
Ridge Drive. This tornado likely lifted before it crossed the 
Broward River, with sporadic damage occurring through Oceanway
before touching back down along Grover Road, with significant tree 
damage occurring along Boney Road and Starratt Road near Edwards
Creek. Local broadcast media then relayed video of the tornado as
it bypassed Black Hammock Island near the A-1A / Nassau Sound 
Bridge adjacent to Amelia Island State Park. Tornadic damage was 
not continuous along the nearly 15 mile path of this mesocyclone.
