See photos, videos of destructive hail pounding cars and homes across Florida
Florida has become ground zero to severe storms in recent days, bringing destructive hail and damaging winds.
Photos and videos showing baseball-sized hail, downed trees coupled with caved-in roofs in Brevard County — including in the city of Melbourne — have gone viral on social media. Hail has also been reported in Sumter, Marion, Lake and Osceola counties as well as in northern Palm Beach County.
Take a look at snapshots of the hail storm and the subsequent damage it left in its wake on Tuesday and Wednesday:
Severe storm damage here in Melbourne. Parts of this roof caved in during a hail storm. It’s a miracle no one inside was hurt. @fox35orlando is tracking severe weather across central Florida. pic.twitter.com/3O2qXqpVjS
