Strong Storms Cause Damage In Stuart
60-70 MPH Winds and Hail in Strong Storm Clusters in Martin County
This past week has seen several strong storms cause damage throughout the Treasure Coast, bringing high winds and hail to Stuart, Palm City, Port Sewall and other parts of Martin County and the Treasure Coast according to the National Weather Service.
April 20th, 2020 Martin County Storms
In the early evening on April 20th strong thunderstorms brought damage producing events that included high winds and hail up to 1” in diameter. Although relatively short in duration, these storms were powerful enough to cause significant damage to roofs, windows, and exterior elevations.
There were reports of trees down in Palm City, which can also cause damage to area homes, and at the time, tornado warnings were in effect, although no tornadoes were ultimately reported.
The TCPalm had more information on this storm.

Similar Storms ripped through the Treasure Coast April 26th, 2020
Nearly a week later, both Port St Lucie County and Martin County were under severe thunderstorm warnings again. Torrential rains and high winds were brought by storms on and off throughout the day.
Although the winds were not projected to be as high as the prior week’s storms, there were more storms over a greater area, which also had the potential for hail (smaller in diameter than the April 20th storms) and also brought significant lightning.
There were reports of hail in Indian River County from a storm that traveled through Yeehaw Junction and dumped hail in Fellsmere and Micco, as well as along the barrier islands.
VIP Adjusting’s public adjusters consider Indian River County to be our backyard and if any of our neighbors were on the receiving end of damage from these storms, we are happy to provide a free inspection.
VIP Adjusting has already been in touch with forensic meteorologists to discuss having detailed reports for areas that were subject to hail damage and wind damage, as well as lightning strikes.
