"Deltona Storm of March 19, 2003

At 6:25 PM a severe thunderstorm warning was issued for the Deltona area of
central Volusia County. Large hail began at 6:30 PM, and radar began to
indicate a possible tornado, prompting a tornado warning to be issued for
the area at 6:41 PM. Reports of more large hail, tree damage, and possible
tornadoes continued to filter in, and radar continued to show that a
tornado was possible as the parent thunderstorm moved east at 20 mph
through 8 PM.

A storm survey conducted the next day by National Weather Service personnel
uncovered minimal evidence of tornadic damage in the area, but widespread
evidence of tree damage due to a downburst of winds from north to south
across the southeast section of Deltona, in the direction of
Osteen. Minimal evidence of a tornado was visible in the box on the map
below. This was only evident in the direction to which a few trees were
pushed and not in structural damage of any kind..."
