Officials say the 93-year-old man who lived in the home is being assisted by American Red Cross Disaster volunteers, and is currently staying with neighbors.
The NWS says the EF-1 tornado touched down at about 5:45 a.m., with winds estimated at 95 mph.
The tornado also damaged a nearby convenience store on Rio De Janeiro Avenue at Rampart Boulevard and caused a ceiling collapse in one unit of a condo at 2103 Royal Tern Circle. A couple and their 10-year-old son were not hurt.
The American Red Cross is helping with housing for the family. Emergency Operations spokeswoman Dee Hawkins says no one was injured during the storm.
The majority of the damage is small, trees and wires down and minor damage to buildings. Charlotte County officials are reporting that power lines and trees are down in the area.
