The National Weather Service confirmed we had a wind gust of 52mph and reports of quarter-sized hail in the area near Lake Worth Road. The storm that moved through saw winds of 50-55mph.
After the fifth-driest April on record, Palm Beach County received heavy rainfall Monday afternoon, with reports of hail throughout the community.
"The area near Lake Worth Road was among the hardest hit, with reports of uprooted trees, fallen palm fronds, and scattered debris," says Village of Wellington Manager Jim Barnes.
"Our Public Works crews responded quickly and are actively clearing debris from roads and Village facilites. Village building inspectors are also assessing damage throughout the community," Barnes added.
The sudden thunderstorms are being caused by a stationary front hanging over central Florida.

We can expect these storms to continue through Monday evening, with humid weather remaining throughout the week. However, this weekend we can look forward to a cold front.
Boynton Beach resident Tony Sotallaro sent WPTV a picture of hail near Lyons and Southwest Hypoloxo roads.
"Hailstorm the size of golf balls," Sotallaro said.
The storm also touched down in Wellington, where Michael Hoffman shows damage of trees pulled out of the ground. The damage was near the roundabout on 120th Ave South and Pierson Road.
