Alternate 2012 Nassau Tornado

The 2012 Nassau Tornado was a destructive EF3 tornado which levelled an apartament block on Nassau Promenade on January 10, 2012.

History
The tornado was spawned by Tropical Storm John (2012) at 1220 Local time on January 10, 2012. The storm caused a area of extreme moisture to move in to the coastal city. The moisture spawned a supercell thunderstorm with 45 mph (70 km/h) winds and heavy, torrential rain. At about 1235, the rain stopped, but the cumulunimbus which produced the thunderstorm started rotating and a funnel was produced. The funnel touched down at 1300. It was classified as Tornado no.2 by the WMA, but was intensified into the 2012 Nassau tornado shortly after. The tornado levelled a 30-storey apartament block just 200 yards (320 meters) inland of Nassau Beach. The block exploded in a massive explosion and collapsed on the promenade. At 1305, the supercell and tornado moved more inland and dissipated. The damage is C34,809,000 (2012) or $20,000,000 and was beyond irrepairable.
