Storm Surveys & Write-ups
Local NWS offices have the responsibility of
surveying sites which experience
significant weather-related damage. The survey team is usually lead by
the Warning Coordination Meteorologist (WCM)
and often includes one or more staff meteorologists. The team determines
the type of damage (i.e. straight-line wind,
microburst, tornado) based on the pattern of debris and the most likely peak
wind speed associated with the storm.
In the case of a tornado, the touchdown location is identified, as well as the
length and width of track, and the strength
based on the Enhanced Fujita scale - EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest).
Below are storm surveys and write-ups from NWS
Jacksonville. If you have
pictures of storm damage you are willing to share, please contact us via
telephone at (904) 741-4370; mail at 13701 Fang Drive, Jacksonville, FL
32218; or email at al.sandrik@noaa.gov.
