Estimated wind gusts between 60 and 65 mph caused numerous trees and branches to break and fall in the 300 block of East Weatherbee Road and 300 block of Tumblin Kling Road, according to St. Lucie County Emergency Management. A tree fell on a carport and another fell on a home, briefly trapping an unknown number of people inside. At a nearby car dealership, several vehicles on display with their hoods raised sustained damage and several display windows were broken.
Rain bands moving on shore from Tropical Storm Fay produced a brief EF0 tornado in Ft. Pierce. The tornado slightly damaged the roof and interior ceiling of a warehouse.
Extreme rainfall, with totals of 6-12 inches fell in less than 12 hours, with much of the rain occurring in less than 6-hours. Numerous roadways in Port St. Lucie, White City and adjacent Ft. Pierce South experienced rapid inundation, resulting in stalled cars and blocked roads. Numerous roads were closed with water approaching several homes. Water accumulated to heights of 2.5 to 3 feet near Kitterman Road and U.S. Highway 1 (Port St. Lucie) and Gopher Ridge Road (White City). The highest rain measurement was 11.40 inches from a Weather Underground mesonet site located 4 miles north of Port St. Lucie.
Strong winds in association with a line of thunderstorms moved across St. Lucie County early Thursday morning. Straight line winds embedded in part of the line produced minor damage on Ulrich Road (between Oleander Avenue and US-1). Estimated winds of 50 to 60 mph produced damage to several large trees and one home sustained minor roof and soffit damage.
West Palm Beach media relayed several reports from citizens of tree damage north of Port St. Lucie. Wind gusts were estimated at 60 to 65 mph after examining photos of the damage.
St. Lucie County Emergency Management officials reported half-dollar sized hail on U.S. Highway 1 between Weatherbee and Tumblin Kling Roads as a severe thunderstorm moved through Fort Pierce.
A thunderstorm intensified along the east coast sea breeze and produced a weak brief EF0 tornado (landspout) in a produce field off of Glades Cut Off Road west of Port St. Lucie. The tornado quickly crossed the road before lifting. Several photos were obtained from a local media outlet. An Emergency Management official confirmed that no damage or injuries occurred.
A funnel cloud was observed in association with a strong thunderstorm which developed just east of and shortly after passage of the east coast sea breeze boundary. The funnel cloud was observed near the intersection of Midway Road and the Torino Parkway, north of Port St. Lucie.
