Some people living along Isla Verde Way reported car and home windows shattered along with damaged mailboxes.

“A 1:45 a.m., the whole house shook. You could hear glass breaking. We just huddled together until it stopped and there’s damage everywhere. Broken glass, cars broken,” said one resident.

Palm fronds were blocking roads and signs were knocked down.

“Everything was shaking. There was no doubt that it was a tornado coming through,” said another resident.

First responders were dispatched to the community.

No injuries have been reported.
