Occurred on January 8, 2024 / Panama City Beach, Florida, USA
Info from Licensor: "I grabbed my phone when I awoke with a tornado warning across my phone. While staying in Laketown Wharf on the 21st floor on January 8th at 5:23 am, I saw lightning going off like a strobe light show. I had no idea how big it was, only that on radar I had about 4 minutes before it was going to hit. So I grabbed my phone and waited. The noises you hear are golf ball-sized hail and debris hitting hurricane-strength glass doors, the wind was so fast I couldn’t see the resort in front of us. I heard the entire Laketown Wharf resort being hit with debris, I knew it was strong but it only lasted about 10 minutes, and it was gone ."
