A suspected tornado was reported near the Stuart, Port Salerno area along U.S. 1 near Cove Road. Damage is shown at Southeast Azimuth Way in Port Salerno.

MARTIN COUNTY - A 105-year-old Port Salerno woman is in the hospital after a tornado destroyed her house, but all she wants to do is go home.

Jayne Huston, born in 1919, has lived in the same house in Rocky Pointe for as long as her great-grandson Rylee Huston, 22, can remember. He said she lives alone and is extremely independent, something of which she is quite proud.

"She is as independent as anyone can probably wish to be at that age," Huston said.

The tornado that hit Jayne Huston's house was the first of two in the area, an EF1 with an estimated peak wind of 95 mph that started at 4:03 p.m. Oct. 9 and ended at 4:12 p.m. Its path was 3 miles long. A second tornado, an EF2 with 111-135 mph winds, was in Hobe Sound and Port Salerno, according to the National Weather Center.

"She was in the bathroom. The entire side wall was blown in, and the entire roof was blown off as well. So the place she was, luckily, was in the bathroom at the time," Huston said.

Huston said his great-grandmother was pulled out of the house by her neighbors and she is currently in the hospital with a gash in her foot that needed surgery and bruising on her back. He believes falling debris caused the injuries.

"I live about 6 miles away from her so we sped over there the moment we had heard. The neighbors had pulled her out of the house and she was able to give my dad's information," Huston said. "The neighbor called us, and then we all rushed over there immediately."

Huston said he has a great relationship with his great-grandmother. They always celebrate her birthday and in recent years, she has not wanted to travel long distances, so the family goes to her house to celebrate holidays.

"We've been really close for a long time. She always told me lots of stories of her life and her travels, because she's traveled basically the world on a boat. She used to take so many cruises," Huston said.

Huston said he is not the only one in the family helping out. His parents, brother, grandfather, and aunt have all been around to help through the entire situation.

"My family is working as a pretty tight knit group right now to try to figure out what's going to be happening," Huston said. "Everyone's been putting in a lot of effort to go see her, to get as many things as we could from the house wreckage, and then to just try to figure out what are going to be the next steps when she decides what she wants to do."

Huston said he does not know for sure what the next steps are for the house. He said the family wants to help his great-grandmother find a new place in any way they can. A GoFundMe account has been created to raise money to help her get home from the hospital to her temporary housing and back into her own home, he said.

"If we do decide to rebuild, we will be able to help her best we can, but that is currently not exactly a finite plan right now," Huston said. "It could be anything from a condo to her own place, but definitely not any kind of assisted living or nursing homes at this moment in time."

Huston said his great-grandmother would rather be anywhere else than the hospital right now because she loves being independent.

"Since the day I've known her, she's always wanted to be out and about and doing her own thing," Huston said. "She'd rather be at home. But we'll slowly work on getting her somewhere she feels comfortable."
