A severe storm system that spawned tornadoes tore through an area near Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., on Saturday, damaging homes and flipping cars, according to officials and witness accounts. James Ippolito, the deputy fire chief in Palm Beach Gardens, which is about a dozen miles north of West Palm Beach, said the area had been hit by a storm that left a man trapped between a boat and a concrete piling. The man had been transported to a hospital and was in stable condition, he said. The Palm Beach Gardens Police Department asked the public to avoid an area east of the Intracoastal Waterway “due to storm damage” and because roads were blocked. The village of North Palm Beach said on Twitter that police officers, fire rescue teams and staff members from the Public Works Department were checking the area “after a tornado touched down around 5:45 p.m.”
