a National Weather Service damage survey team found that the damage

(december 11 2010) resulted from sporadic straight line thunderstorm
downburst winds with a peak magnitude of 50 to 60 mph (based on
observed damage).

The survey and radar data indicate damage first occurred on Thompson
Lane... where a house on the shores of Mobile Bay had some windows
blown out. No other damage was noted at this location.

About one half mile east of this location... at the intersection of
Highway 98 and Whispering Pines Road... wind damage was noted at a
car dealership. An awning at the dealership was destroyed... with
debris blowing into the car lot which resulted in the windows of
several vehicles in the lot being broken out.

To the east of the car dealership... and continuing eastward along
Whispering Pines Road for approximately one mile... sporadic minor
wind damage was noted... primarily downed small trees and a damaged
privacy fence. No damage to homes or other structures in the area
was observed.

Further east... nearing the Daphne Middle School at the intersection
of Whispering Pines Road and County Road 13... damage was noted on
metal bleachers and some fencing at a youth sports complex. At the
school itself... a metal covering over a sidewalk was damaged... with
debris blowing downwind and striking a number of school buses. The
flying debris broke out the windows of several of the buses.

Note: on Monday (december 13)... another NWS survey team is expected
to inspect storm damage that also occurred in the late evening
(december 11) and early morning (december 12) in the Milton Florida
area.
