Looks like it clipped the southeast edge of town
Looks like at least HE EF2 damage to me, probably lower end EF3.Using Google Maps, I can confirm that a small home in Panama City Beach was completely destroyed. It was located at 4001 Treasure Circle, behind the apartment building that lost its top floor.

There was also another nearby apartment building that lost its roof and multiple walls.

I was just about to bring this up. WFO's in the Carolinas are all saying it will be contingent on sufficient destabilization. Given this system's crazy kinematics, I think we'll see some more tornadoes today, but there seems to be somewhat of a decrease in confidence when it comes to the likelihood of discrete cells. FWIW, the CAMs still have plenty of UH streaks across the region though, but that might be from the line.I seem to recall that in the previous D1 outlook the SPC mentioned the risk of discrete, oceanic supercells making landfall in the Outer Banks region today. It’s no longer mentioned in the latest outlook, but I presume the threat is still there.
Also given hurricane codes, some areas of damage in Panama City Beach may be rated higher than we expect in comparison to the visual severity of the damage.Looks like at least HE EF2 damage to me, probably lower end EF3.
