While officials with the National Weather Service said Thursday afternoon they could not confirm a tornado was at fault for tearing the roof off a North Fort Myers building, they said it is likely.
Matt Anderson, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Ruskin, said forecasters were working to confirm a possible tornado in Palm Creek Drive, in North Fort Myers.
“It definitely looks like there was a tornado there,” Anderson said. “It would take a little more investigation from us.”

According to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office, the disturbance did not cause injuries nor major damages.
Photos released by the sheriff’s office show part of the home’s metal roof lay on the ground, while the structural beams became visible.
