Power Outage in Bonifay, FL

Numerous trees and power lines were blown down.

A tornado touched down in a densely wooded area west of Henry Grey road in southeastern Holmes county around 1114 pm CDT. The starting point was based on a tornadic debris signature (TDS) from the Eglin Air Force Base radar, as access to this area is extremely limited. The tornado continued east just north of Sand Path Road, but was likely quite weak by the time it reached Henry Grey road. No damage was noted to homes near this intersection. The only damage noted along the path was along Barefield Lane. At this location, a small metal outbuilding was lifted and tossed into a nearby power pole. In addition, numerous fence panels were blown out. Finally, a large tree limb fell onto a vehicle. However, no structural damage to any of the surrounding manufactured homes was noted. Maximum winds were estimated at this location to be around 75 mph. The tornado likely dissipated at this point at approximately 1119 pm CDT. No additional damage was seen to the east of this location, and the TDS dissipated on radar. The tornado was rated an EF0 with max winds around 75 mph. Thanks to Holmes County Emergency management for aiding in this assessment.
