Tornado touches down in Fernandina Beach

Danny Hinson with Nassau County emergency management confirms a tornado touched down in Fernandina Beach but luckily says it did minimal damage.
Hinson says the roofs of at least two homes were damaged in the Fernandina Beach area.
"There are a lot of large, very large trees that are down. Some have blown, have hit some roof structures."
Luckily, he says there are no reports of any injuries.
"One of the beauties about the Amelia Island, Fernandina beach area is the large tree canopy. Unfortunately that doesn't bid well with a tornado or any kind of strong winds."
He recommends if you see downed trees blocking the streets or public pathways to contact authorities.
