            Satellite and radar analyses indicate a
            tornado touched down south west of Sweet
            Lake. The tornado moved northeast towards
            Sweet Lake where a very marked and narrow
            corridor of damage to vegetation could be
            seen. This portion of the damage path
            coincides with maximum intensity of a radar
            observed tornado debris signature. Damage to
            vegetation continued east of Sweet Lake as
            the tornado crossed the Intracoastal
            Waterway. Damage becomes sparse between the
            waterway and HWY 27 where the tornado
            dissipated.
