HERNANDO COUNTY, Fla. — Hernando County Fire Rescue (HCFR) said a tree fell into a home Monday evening, causing significant damage to the structure.

With intense weather, strong winds, and a tornado warning, HCFR said the home, located in the 31100 block of Lancewood Drive in Ridge Manor, sustained damage after a tree fell into it.

No injuries were reported, and the people inside have been displaced.

Also in Hernando County, the Sheriff's Office (HCSO) said the rains caused scattered damage to trees and caused the driver of a car to drive into an uncovered drain at a Brooksville business.

The business was vacant at the time, but deputies are asking people to "please remain vigilant on the roadway as the storms continue to work through the area."

“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”

South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
