St. Lucie County local business icon, Al’s Family Farms, took a huge hit from the disastrous tornado outbreak Wednesday afternoon along the Treasure Coast.
WPTV Reporter Jon Shainman went to the iconic local business to speak with owners Jeff and Matt Schorner as they process the devastation.
“I’ve never seen anything like this in my whole life,” Jeff said. “I’ve been on this earth for 64 years— nothing. I don’t even see this in a movie.”

Jeff and his son, Matt, left the building to go home around 20 minutes before the tornado hit. He was told of the potential damage by another business owner in the area.
Al’s Family Farms has been left with catastrophic damage.
“If you’re looking for a Ground Zero of where a tornado may have touched down, unfortunately, this might be it.” Shainman said.
