In the immediate area, I know of no injuries.  About 7 miles North of here,
they have determined that an EF1 tornado moved through.  It ripped off some
roofing and knocked over a building that was under construction.

A short while later, another storm that has also been classified as an EF1
tornado went through a trailer park 15-20 miles NE of here.  It picked up
one trailer, turned it upside down, and dropped it partially on top of
another one.  Several other trailers will need to be condemned.  From what
I understand, the people in the two trailers that got the worst of it
escaped with only minor injuries.
