A tornado swept through the community of Hobe Sound late Wednesday morning, cutting a path of damage that mainly stretched along Bridge Road, the National Weather Service (NWS) confirmed.
The agency rated the twister as an EF-1, meaning it was spinning up windspeeds as high as 85-95 miles per hour.
The tornado touched down around 10:40 a.m. west of U.S. 1, NWS reported. It headed east along Bridge Road before hopping the St. Lucie River and going into Jupiter Island.
“The peak winds we believe occurred in this area along Bridge Road. As you can see a lot of Ficus trees have been toppled in this area. We’re hearing from emergency management officials in the sheriff’s office that about 20 to 25 Ficus trees were toppled,” Will Ulrich, a Warning Coordination Meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said.
