The city also advised residents to limit traffic and stay off of roadways, as there are multiple traffic signals out at intersections.

WPTV Reporter Briana Nespral went to the Avenir neighborhood in Palm Beach Gardens on Wednesday to assess the damage after tornadoes from Hurricane Milton ripped-off roofs off homes and flipped cars.
