It was a long night, beginning around 10 with the first tornado warnings (or, as Hobbie says, TOMATO WARNINGS!)

The first round were some huge 45,000-foot tall thundercells that came through north of us and spawned the tornadoes around 10:30 p.m. Several small communities on both sides of Toledo were devastated. Three deaths so far, more missing. Houses leveled. High school destroyed. Even police stations heavily damaged.

The second round was another group of intense and fast-moving storms that started showing up west to east around 2:30 a.m. More tornadoes. More rain. More devastation.

We didn't get anything but some rain and straight-line winds here. Our sirens never went off.

The worst kind of tornado is the one you can't see coming because it is dark. Many people never even knew about the storms because they were in bed sleeping.
