Normally in Florida you don't hear reports of Tornado touchdowns with the tornado warnings.. you just hear "a tornado my form.." or.. "be on the lookout for changing weather conditions"..

I think the last time they reported a tornado on the ground here was either the 1998 outbreak or during Tropical Storm Gabrielle.. Because I know my neighborhood got slammed by Gabrielle

Alot of times it can be convective interactions which enhance localized shear and lead to tornadoes in an environment which synoptically speaking is not all that favorable for their development.

e.g. High CAPE and low vertical shear through a deep layer (High Bulk-Richardson number). and/or no change in wind direction with height-- among other things.
