Damage along the path was limited mainly to out buildings and mobile homes, several of which had substantial roof damage. A few large branches of hardwood trees were snapped. Isolated softwood tree trunks were snapped, but surrounding trees not affected. The damage was consistent with an EF0 tornado with maximum winds of 80 mph.

Another short-track tornado touched down in Callaway, FL just east of North Star Avenue at the location of the Callaway Sheriff's office and Fire Dept. The tornado blew out two windows at the sheriff's office and tumbled a large container several times before it eventually stopped across a small lagoon. A deputy reported his patrol car being shifted by the winds while he was in the car and parked at the SO. The tornado then lifted a substantial portion of a well-built garage or outbuilding tossing some into the yard and others into the adjoining apartment complex in the opposite direction. The apartment complex sustained relatively minor damage. One shed was slightly shifted, a lone tree snapped, and one hand railing for an exterior staircase. The most substantial damage occurred at a mobile home park east of the apartment complex and immediately east of Nelle St. Several single and double-wide manufactured homes were shifted off their cinder block foundation by a couple of feet. Many suffered substantial roof damage as well. One utility pole was snapped near its base. The tornado lifted after exiting the mobile home park before reaching Sukoshi Drive.
