JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A screen porch reportedly blew away from an Atlantic Beach home Tuesday night.

The family said they heard a loud noise and noticed the porch was gone. It happened between 9:30 and 9:45 p.m.

A tropical storm formed over Northeast Florida late Tuesday and brought heavy rain and wind to Jacksonville and surrounding counties.

Police searched the area near the home, which is in the 900 block of Amberjack Lane, for a portion of the porch that hasn't been found.

The home is located not too far away from a gas station that reported damage to its awning Tuesday night.
