Tornado Sends Industrial Dumpster Onto Roof in Palm Beach Gardens Neighborhood

Friday, October 11th, 2024 Catastrophe Insurance Industry Property Risk Management

In Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, a powerful tornado sent an industrial dumpster onto the roof of a home after tearing through the area. This storm, one of nearly 40 confirmed tornadoes during Hurricane Milton’s onslaught, caused significant damage to homes and businesses.

Local news reported damage to multiple houses, particularly in the gated Avenir Palm Beach Gardens community, while residents from the nearby Loxahatchee area shared details of the storm’s destruction. Additionally, a newly opened Publix store in Palm Beach Gardens sustained structural damage.

Although South Florida escaped the brunt of the hurricane, the tornadoes accompanying the storm left visible devastation in their wake. Industrial dumpsters typically weigh between two and six tons, illustrating the extreme power of the winds that lifted it onto the roof.

Hurricane Milton, classified as a Category 3 storm, made landfall on Florida’s west coast, contributing to widespread tornado activity and weather warnings across the state.
