ORLANDO -- Another round of storms moved through Central Florida Tuesday afternoon as parts of the region cleaned up from a round of severe weather overnight.
If you get caught driving through a severe storm, slow down and pay close attention to the road conditions.
Trail Of Damage
The early morning storms caused some damage in Osceola County, knocking over trees and even blowing over an 18-wheeler.
The truck overturned in the Covington Estates subdivision of St. Cloud, falling onto Diana Rodrigues’ pickup.
News 13 also received reports of a tree down on Tanglewood Drive, in Kissimmee.
No injuries were reported at either location.
Winds Take A Toll On Space Coast Homes
In Merritt Island, several fences were blown over in backyards off of Fiddler Avenue, close to Banana River Drive.
Residents said the winds popped up quickly from the south, and took down several of fences, one by one, shattering the support poles.
"I grew up in this house and I've never seen any winds like this. Last year it was the back fence and we had that replaced, and now this. My brother and I put up that fence 20 years ago, so it's held a pretty long time," said Bob Comber, a storm victim.
Tree limbs were broken, and chairs and debris blew around during the height of the storm.
Neighbors said the winds got strong in a hurry.
"It sure did, because there wasn't much going on before that, and all of a sudden, boom, here it is," said Garland Shoemaker.
Power was also knocked out, but only for a few minutes.
Tree Troubles In Osceola County
Meanwhile, the strong storms caused a lot of damage in Osceola County.
In the 3900 block of John Young Parkway, a tree was ripped up by the roots and brought down on top of a house. Several holes were punched through the tin roof.
Less than a mile away, a home narrowly escaped damage when a 30-foot tree crashed down next to the pool.
"Well it went to about a 40-degree angle and then it snapped and boom, it was down," said Richard Herr, a homeowner.
There is no word yet on just how much the damage done will cost.
