One of many Videos we'll be seeing from this event. She said it was more than one that became 1 large Tornado. Sounds like multiple vorticies that blended into one.

Updated radar and reports. Indiana in line of fire now. I Heard one Tornado was moving at 75mph.

Red Shade are Tornado Watches . Reports coming in of poles snapped and Tornadoes on ground in Indiana now. Even into Western Kentucky

The tornado icons across this map each designate reports of tornado touchdowns. The lightning/t-storm icons identify areas swept by high winds. Reports of large hail are indicated by the icons with 3 raindrops in them. We're getting reports of people trapped in buildings, widespread damage and homes flattened by Sunday's horrific tornado outbreak. 53 tornado reports have been filed with the Storm Prediction Center--and the number grows.
