The Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida, USA was hit hard by what is reported to be a F2 class tornado Christmas afternoon. Early reports are that as many as 50 of their planes have been damaged, as has a hangar, admin and student buildings, and a nearby apartment complex often housing students of ERAU.

As students were on the Christmas break there have been few injuries.

University officials have stated that they hope to be able to resume classes for the spring semester.
