Low pressure in the Gulf of Mexico traveled along a stationary front into Levy county.  One of the stronger storms in the vicinity of the stationary front produced a waterspout that moved inland into extreme northwest Citrus County near the Cross Florida Barge Canal. The tornado then proceeded to cross the the northwest corner of Citrus county and moved into the city of Inglis in Levy county.   In Citrus county, the damage began near the corner of West Rooster Crow Road and North Nighthawk.  Significant tree damage was found near the Withlacoochee river along North Honey Jorden Point with damage width of 500 to 1,500 feet.In Levy county, minor damage occurred to roof tops of businesses and major damage occurred to some mobile homes due to fallen trees. One small temporary church was destroyed as winds made it into the building, popped the roof, and the exterior walls collapsed.  An eye witness 50 feet away reported the building was pulsating before it was destroyed and the rotating funnel curved down then paralleled the storm base.  It is believed most of the wind damage was caused by the strong rear flank downdraft. The Inglis Police Chief estimated 60 homes were damaged during the event, mostly when trees or large limbs fell on the roofs.

Reported by: NEWSPAPER
Up to 2 inches of rain fell across the area on the 29th and 30th.  At elevations above 2500 feet, temperatures were below 32 degrees during this period of time.  This caused the rain to freeze on impact on trees, power lines, roads, and bridges. Numerous trees were downed onto roads and power lines after being weighted down by ice up to 2 inches thick.  The early season storm hit when the leaves were still on the trees so the ice accumulation was especially heavy on the boughs.  The hardest hit areas were in the higher terrain of western Allegany County, including Dan's Mountain, Piney Mountain, and Big Savage Mountain. A communications tower on Dan's Rock which included transmitters for emergency communications and a weather radio station was damaged. The city of Frostburg reported damage from downed trees and power lines, in addition to scattered power outages and road closures.  A total of 3700 county customers were without power as a direct result of the storm.

A wildfire on the Fort Dix Military Reservation consumed about 3,000 acres of forest, fields, old cranberry bogs and swamps. Peat and underground roots helped spread the fire as drought conditions left the vegetation in a flammable state. The fire began during the afternoon of the 15th during the middle of another stretch of hot and humid weather. It was believed that the sun's heat ignited a practice ammunition round in the Range 71 area. The fire was centered about 4 miles southeast of Plumstead Township's New Egypt section and west of County Route 539. Smoke from the fire reached 40 miles to the northeast in Woodbridge (Middlesex County) and ashes from the fire reached 30 to 35 miles away in Old Bridge (Middlesex County). The fire consumed fields and forests from Ranges 61 to 85 in Ocean and Burlington Counties. While it was contained on the 17th, underground flare-ups kept firefighters busy until rain at the end of the month finally extinguished it. No serious injuries were reported.
