Tornado with 100 mph winds topples cars, damages roofs in Broward County
Cars laid stacked atop one another like a scene from a child’s abandoned playroom at parking lots across Broward College’s North Campus after a tornado swept the area Wednesday morning.
Touching down at 9:30 a.m., the tornado’s winds shook the area for six minutes, overturning cars on the turnpike and toppling trees and power lines in Coconut Creek, according to the National Weather Service. As it intensified to peak winds of 90 to 100 miles per hour, it turned its course to the Wynmoor Village Condominium complex in Coconut Creek, where large trees were ripped from their roots, light poles were snapped and concrete blocks were peeled from condos and hurled yards away.
On the southbound turnpike, just north of the Coconut Creek exit, fierce winds overturned a tractor trailer and blew the hood off another truck.
A white Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.0T traveling south was picked up by the high winds and tossed on the outside shoulder of the northbound lanes.
