WELLINGTON, Fla. — The aftermath of Hurricane Milton in the Village of Wellington has left some homes with blown out windows, mangled garage doors and structural damage.
A very large tornado moved through the Wellington area on Wednesday afternoon, flipping vehicles and causing damage to multiple homes.
WPTV anchor Mike Trim assessed the damage in Preserve at Binks Forest Thursday morning and found a home with extensive damage from the tornado.
"That garage door got pushed in by this tornado, look at that roof damage and if you look behind these trees, you'll see a car flipped on its side," Trim said, while standing near a pile of downed tree branches covering the flipped car. "All three garage doors blown out, roof damage and the windows blown out of this home."
Trim said he spoke to a neighbor who lives a house down, who heard the tornado, went into the laundry room for about 10 minutes and came out to destruction.
