Rare EF-3 tornado hits Palm Beach Gardens, Florida

A rare EF-3 tornado tore through the Avenir community in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida on October 9, 2024, as Hurricane “Milton” unleashed a tornado outbreak across Florida.
A powerful EF-3 tornado tore through Palm Beach Gardens on October 9, ripping off roofs and causing widespread damage. With winds of 225 km/h (140 mph), the tornado lifted a construction dumpster into the air and tossed it on top of a home in Regency Community at Avenir.

“I’ve never surveyed a tornado with this much damage and severity. EF-3 tornadoes are very rare in South Florida,” said NWS Meteorologist Robert Molleda. “It’s probably been many years since we’ve had an EF-3-rated tornado here in South Florida,” he added.

Several new homes in the Avenir community were damaged by the tornado which ripped off concrete block walls and large sections of the roofs from homes. People were seen putting tarpaulin over their damaged roofs once the storm had passed.

The tornado had a long track with its starting and end locations still unknown. The EF-3 rating of the tornado is still preliminary as it is based on just one neighborhood of Palm Beach Gardens which was among the hardest hit. A multi-day survey is needed to assign a final rating.

The tornado was part of a larger tornado outbreak triggered by Hurricane Milton, which made landfall near Siesta Key as a Category 3 hurricane at around 20:30 local time on October 9.
