Thunderstorms developed a pre-frontal squall line and developed two prominent bow echoes. The bow echoes raced east at 55-60 mph from the central Florida interior and persisted to the Brevard County coast. Significant straight-line wind damage occurred along two long swaths, from southwest Lake County to Cocoa, and from Orlando to Cape Canaveral. Winds were measured up to 86 mph at two observing sites in Orange County. Much the surrounding areas of Lake, Orange, and Brevard Counties (as well as adjacent portions of Seminole and Osceola Counties) experienced minor wind damage. A woman was injured in Cocoa when a tree fell on the Florida room that she was entering from outdoors. Damage estimates totalled over $3M, of which $2M was from the collapse of a storage warehouse under construction in Orlando. The remainder of the cost estimate was a result of falling trees and mainly minor structural damage.
