SW Florida

Had an F-1 tornado hit this morning. Minor property damage to a golfing community, one person hurt and 77 mile an hour wind gusts at a local airport. 84 and humid yesterday, 80+ degrees on Christmas forecasted. Normal temps are in the low to mid 70s. First tornado here in December since the 40s. Climate change is here.

I am trying Google but apparently haven't hit on the right combination yet. I'm getting old articles from 2019, 2020, etc.

UPDATED: Just found it! North Port and Ft Myers. Certainly not far from my in-laws.
