PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — A tornado touched down in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, on Saturday as a powerful storm system brought intense rain and powerful winds to the state, overturning cars, damaging homes and snapping tree branches.

The National Weather Service in Miami said the tornado hit late Saturday afternoon with winds of 100 mph (160 kph) near Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center and headed northeast toward the coast.

Storm damage forced authorities in the coastal city to close major roadways in the city as workers cleared debris and inspected wreckage. Images from the scene showed cars flipped over on top of each other, cracked tree limbs resting on vehicles and homes, as well as other debris littering streets.

The Palm Beach Gardens Police Department has not reported any major injuries or fatalities. A spokeswoman for the city said officials have deactivated emergency protocols and were working through lingering issues Sunday.

7. We're well north of that but twice this week we've been awakened by the blare of a Tornado Warning..

...on our cell phones. We had one this morning. It's been crazy weather.

11. Stay safe

Here in the Philly suburbs, we have a flood watch. Luckily my house isn’t flood prone. Those alerts are scary but needed. A couple years ago here there was a tornado outbreak in SE PA/NJ. Got a lot of phone alerts. For each one, I would check if there was a tornado warning. They were all flood emergencies for where I am.
