As heavy rain swept across the state, a tornado may have crashed into Mexico Beach in the Florida Panhandle Monday morning, Oct. 27.
The Bay County Sheriff’s Office reported that the worst damage from the suspected tornado in Mexico Beach was centered around the El Governor Beach Resort, 1701 U.S. 98, and adjacent RV park. No fatalities were reported, although BCSO says that two people were taken to the hospital.
Meteorologist Jim Cantore called it a “dangerous storm” in a series of X posts Monday.
Realtor Shandi Renea White was in the RV campground at the time and moved to the safety of the campers’ restroom, where she videoed the howling storm and posted images of the damages left behind.
American Red Cross Disaster Relief arrived within hours with water, ice and snacks, White said in a later post, and Mission BBQ and Sonny’s BBQ were there to feed locals and linemen.

Minor damage to buildings and power poles can be seen in a video from storm chaser Weather Wolf (video may contain explicit language):
