About a mile to the northeast, the storm caused widespread damage at Woodlands Crossing near 180th and Military Road. "I was in the basement because I heard it was going to hit Waterloo and Elkhorn. Then we lost power. We had a lot of wind. We came upstairs to this," she said, waving her hand toward her yard. After venting its fury on Elkhorn, the storm headed north and cut a swath through the rolling hills southwest of Bennington. In March, the city council approved the construction of the courts at the 12-acre park, which is just north of Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center.

Reports of damaged homes in Bennington
Opulence is on full display in David Levine’s dining room. “I really feel like the dining room is a forgotten room,” says the designer, who set out to prove how vital the space is to a home. The room is anchored by a Riva 1920 table made with the wood of a 50,000-year-old Kauri tree, which Levine surrounded with seating for 12. Another seating area with views of the garden was designed for more intimate dining, games, or meetings, and it’s illuminated by a Murano glass chandelier. At the far end of the room, Levine installed a lush purple sofa with cocktail tables, creating the perfect spot for drinks, dessert, or relaxing with a cup of coffee.

Now, the couple is working with an engineer to get a new roof on before winter starts this year and has shifted to clearing out the house's grounds. There was a lot of mold and potentially hazardous areas in the house, that the couple tackled themselves. The couple closed in January 2024 and started the clearing-out process immediately. The first step was to put tarps all over the roof to ensure no more water or moisture entered the house. Because the seller lived several hours away, she would rarely visit, which is why the property was so deteriorated, the couple says. The couple plans to use the two years they have to repay their private loan to fix up the house as much as possible and then refinance to get a traditional mortgage.
