The NWS Storm Survey found a single-wide mobile home destroyed and rolled over. Seven people were inside the home, two adults were killed with four injured. The tornado also destroyed a 2000 square foot barn. The damage was in a very rural, isolated area and the Manatee County Sheriffs surveyed the storm track by helicopter and found numerous trees down along the path.
