Survey Summary:

Around 4:53 PM EDT, an EF0 tornado touched down at the Cimarrone
Golf Club in St. Johns County, FL along Seneca Dr and Sequoyah
Cir. As the tornado trekked northeastward across portions of the
golf course, it snapped large branches off softwood and hardwood
trees. The tornado overturned a storage shed and scattered its
contents before continuing across a wooded area and causing a few
trees to become slanted. The tornado emerged from the wooded area
along the St. Johns PKWY and SR-9B interchange, finally
dissipating over a retention pond along SR-9B.
