PALM BAY, Fla. -- An EF0 tornado damaged 14 homes in Brevard County, and strong storms knocked out power to more than 3,200 area customers in Central Florida Sunday afternoon. The National Weather Service confirmed on Monday that a tornado with winds of 65 to 75 mph touched down at about 3:40 p.m. in southwest Palm Bay, damaging the homes.
