Here is the NWS Tornado Warning from Saturday, January 6th of a tornado that hit the area just north of the Fort Lauderdale cruise terminal where the Water Taxi run and the $10 million+ homes are located. Two news reports from YouTube...

 

 

 

According to the NWS Public Information Statement, this was a EF-0 tornado with 80 MPH winds.

 

I happen to be in the area earlier, but was on a public bus headed back to my hotel room and was outside the warning area.

I talked to a childhood friend who lives on a street where the tornado touched down (yes, the house at the end of the street is tens of millions). She had minimal damage, but there was some damage further down.
