THE ACREAGE, Fla. — WPTV is committed to showing you the devastation caused by Wednesday's tornado outbreak in our viewing area.
Reporter T.A. Walker was in The Acreage community on Wednesday and in Loxahatchee Groves in Palm Beach County on Thursday, assessing the extent of the damage that ripped through the area.
WATCH: The Acreage community suffers extensive tornado damage:
WPTV anchor Tania Rogers reported from Coconut Road in The Acreage, where there were downed power lines, tilted phone poles, and flipped cars in canals.
Palm Beach County Fire Rescue sent a statement just before 10:30 p.m. that said they responded to multiple reports of tornadoes, associated injuries and trapped people in the Wellington, Acreage and the Loxahatchee areas.
In Loxahatchee Groves, some roads, like C Road, were impassable Thursday morning due to debris and downed trees.
T.A. Walker said the destruction path of the tornado in Loxahatchee Groves is about as wide as a football field.
