County: Storm Damage Was Not Tornado (With Photo Gallery)
November 19, 2015
A Cantonment home was damaged as a line of thunderstorms moved through Escambia County Wednesday afternoon when a large limb from oak tree came crashing down on the roof, and officials say a tornado was not to blame.
The home is located on Highway 95A near Danielle Lane. Two people in the house escaped without injury, and they are not expected to be displaced, according to Escambia County officials.
The tree limb damaged the roof of the home and a window was knocked out. Other small trees in the area were toppled or snapped, and small yard items such as lawn chairs were blown about as the storms moved through before 1 p.m.
The damage was consistent with straight line winds or a microburst, according to Joy Tsubooka, Escambia County spokesperson.
