Members of the public shared video of the tornadoes it passed near Everglades City after coming ashore. The survey observed a leaning power pole along Tamiami Trail just east of the intersection with State Road 29. The damage was tornadic in nature and matches with radar velocity/reflectivity at the time as a strong circulation passed over. Estimated peak wind of 85 mph.
