A little over a week after three tornadoes touched down in Walton County, Walton County Emergency Management Director Jeff Goldberg addressed the Walton County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) with an update on the severe weather that had passed through the county on Jan. 9 and on the emergency management department’s efforts in response to the impacts of the weather event.
Goldberg spoke to the commissioners at their Jan. 18 rescheduled regular meeting at the Walton County Courthouse.
On Jan. 15, after surveys conducted by the National Weather Service, Walton County Emergency Management had reported that the county had been affected by three tornadoes in the early morning of Jan. 9, one in south Walton County, one in Eucheeanna, and one at the DeFuniak Springs Airport.
Goldberg told the commissioners that the south Walton tornado had been rated as an EF (Enhanced Fujita) 1 scale tornado at 110 miles per hour with an 11-mile path.
