Blaming any specificstorm on global warming is problematical. Katrina, for instance, just happened to be in the wrong place, if you recall. Nothing more, correct? But to divorce the two would be really silly.

The fact is that extreme weather events (i.e. manifestations that there's more energy in the system) are on the rise, especially in the northern hemisphere.
The fact is that severe weather is not untypical nor unpredicented in Central Florida. Severe tornados in February are not unusual nor was this particular tornado more severe than past tornadoes.

Overall, global warming may be contributing to more severe weather, but that is not the same as saying that a particular series of tornadoes has anything whatsoever to do with global warming.
