There were multiple tornado signatures on the map during the worst of the storms. Jones said he counted six at one point on radar.
The multiple severe storms overnight produced thunder and lightning strikes across the map. The strong wind gusts did cause some damage and several reports of fallen trees in Monroe and Clark Counties.
