Tornado touches down in central Florida (PHOTOS, VIDEO)
Two people were reported injured and many vehicles were tossed about as a twister touched down in Coconut Creek, Florida.
Heavy storms on Wednesday morning soaked the area, just a few miles inland from Florida's Atlantic coast, between Boca Raton and Fort Lauderdale.
At Broward College, the twister picked up cars, tossing them around. Several vehicles ended up stacked on top of others.
