South Florida experienced severe weather over the holiday weekend, with heavy rain and strong winds causing disruptions. Amidst these conditions, a large bounce house was lifted by the wind and caused damage to a vehicle.
- The intense weather brought over half an inch of rain and wind gusts up to 38 mph to Miami-Dade County. These powerful winds were strong enough to lift and propel a tropical-themed bounce house across a yard. The bounce house flipped and collided with a red SUV, damaging its taillight before continuing its uncontrolled movement. This incident serves as an illustration of the severe weather prevalent in Florida, especially with the approach of hurricane season. Despite the turbulent weekend, Memorial Day itself brought sunny skies and warmer temperatures, offering a pleasant end to the holiday for residents.
