Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, was hit by a surprising turn of events during a recent storm. A strong tornado picked up a heavy dumpster and hurled it onto a home's roof in the Avenir community. John and Bonnie Ventrella were in the process of moving into their new home when they heard a loud noise and saw the tornado approaching. The sight was so captivating that John described it as "mesmerizing."

After the storm, the couple was astonished to find a dumpster sticking into their living room. Luckily, no one was harmed. The tornado had winds estimated at 140 mph by the National Weather Service, causing extensive damage to several new homes in the area. Despite this, the community remained grateful that no lives were lost in this extraordinary event.

The Ventrellas faced a large deductible due to hurricane coverage, but their main concern was the safety of their community. They remembered seeing the dumpster smashing into a neighbor's home before it landed on theirs. The storm left behind broken windows, scattered debris, and a neighborhood coming together to support each other.
