A video of what looks like the formation of a possible tornado was captured.

The EF-2 tornado's 4.6-mile path started in the area of Minnesota Avenue and Ridgewood Avenue Tuesday afternoon, and lifted off around Jacobs Road and Lake Talmadge Drive, near the Lake Lindley subdivision. The EF-0 tornado, which had 65-75 mph winds, was only on the ground for about 0.1 mile. 

The worst of the damage seemed to be east of the intersection of Woodland Boulevard and East Washington Avenue in DeLand

DeLand’s Woodland Boulevard has businesses and shops, many of them now have caution tape in front of them because glass, wood and tree limbs are littering the parking lot.

The Volusia County Property Appraiser’s Office has completed an initial damage assessment report, though some areas were inaccessible, and figures will be updated should additional damage be identified. In unincorporated Volusia County, 82 properties were affected, totaling $3,043,252 in damage. City of DeLand building officials said the tornado  damaged 73 buildings, 14 of which were houses with major damage. but it has not yet announced the total value of the damages in the city.

At least two homes lost roofs, while others had moderate to major roof damage, and other building damage. There are numerous snapped or twisted trees and downed power lines.

A group of four Red Cross volunteers were at the Lowe's at 303 E International Speedway Blvd. in DeLand on Wednesday to assist people affected by the storm. Residents who need immediate financial assistance also can call 1-800-RED-CROSS. 

So far, emergeny financial assistance has been provided to 26 individuals. The city and the Red Cross helped one person who was displaced stay at a hotel.

The Red Cross also is providing tarps, rakes, shovels, trash bags and cleanup kits (mops, brooms and bleach). Its disaster assistance team also is surveying the community.

And the Red Cross wasn't the only group pitching in to help. In one of the hardest-hit neighborhoods in Deland, neighbors are helping neighbors with what will be a massive cleanup effort.

The Williams family says they don’t know when they’ll be able to live in their home again after the tornado ripped the roof apart. They said neighbors, some of whom they’ve never even met before,  are helping them clean up debris.

“During this time when you see people always so against everything," Debra Williams said. "it is so uplifting and such a blessing – I’m going to get emotional – to see your neighbors and people you don’t even know that come together to help people.”

Luckily that family has other family in the area to stay with for now.

At one point Tuesday, more than 11,000 homes and businesses were without power. Emergency crews are out, working to help those impacted. As of late Wednesday, several hundred Duke Energy customers were still without power. 

Many neighborhoods in the area also have damage, with fallen trees on homes and people coming out to help their neighbors and survey the damage.

The City of DeLand has declared a state of emergency. The city is working to have debris cleared. Residents are asked to place any collected debris on the side of the road to be picked up.

The line of thunderstorms that marched across the area also caused flooding and quarter-sized hail.

One young resident was home alone when the storm struck.

Unable to leave work because of the storm, his mother, Heather Williamson, stayed on the phone with her son to try to help him through it. 

Son Trequan took shelter in a closet.

“It was like big boom," Trequan Johnson said. "Then I head a lot of wind and it was like whizzing, and I kept on hearing big booms with stuff flying around. That’s what I heard."

Fortunately, neither Trequan nor his mother was injured, but the walls of their home are now cracked, with severe tree and roof damage.

When the storms rolled in, Rob Mills could hear them coming. Mills, a 30-year resident of DeLand, was listening for the storm after getting a tornado warning alert on his phone.

“When I heard the rumble, I was like, it could be thunder, whatever, and it started gettin’ closer and closer and I said, 'uh oh…' ” Mills said.

That sound sent him running to take cover in his bathroom. 

“For the next 30 seconds, it just sounded like my house was being shredded to pieces,” Mills said.

The tornado sent a chunk of his roof into a nearby tree and crushed his cars under massive trunks. 

“And well, you know what that was the best running car I ever had,” Mills said.

Devon Pierce shared what he experienced as the storms rolled in.

"Next thing you know the wind starting picking up so bad it's blowing our doors wide open, so I'm up there trying to get our doors shut and locked. As soon as I get that done, all of a sudden you can't see anything. It's all just solid gray, black and random bright blue," said Pierce, the general manager of DeLand Hungry Howie.

Anything on Wheels owner Rick Epstein said his team was huddled inside their business Tuesday away from windows, while the doors rattled.

The whole thing passed by quickly, leaving a dozen cars damaged. Not one, but two car ports were blown away.

"Roof, I don't know where the roof is. Roof is somewhere," Epstein said.

They're now prying away what's left.

Epstein's been through multiple hurricanes in DeLand over the past 14 years, but nothing like Tuesday huddled inside.

"My wife described it as a whistle, like a loud whistle," Epstein said.

Crews made progress to clear roads and restore power on Wednesday.

Even with things in serious disarray, and thousands of dollars in damage, Epstein said it could have been a lot worse.

"I hope I don't live to go through another one, that's all I can say," he said.

The city said despite all of the damage, there were no serious injuries or deaths.
