The warning issued doesn't say any tornadoes were spotted, so I don't know? It certainly does look like a tornadic storm though, but not one that would produce 3 tornadoes. Was what you saw on the news actual footage?, a report?, or just a crazy meteorologist saying what he thinks is happening? Because the later of the 3 can probably be written off as hype if that's the case.
Can't wait to hear what is actually going on though. I have tons of family that lives in that area!

..Bad storm for sure..
BTW, here are a few more pictures from WESH.com:
This shows just how powerful hurricane force gusts and weak F0 and F1 tornados can be!

here are a few more pictures this morning:
These make me think the twister was probably more on the F-1 side than the F-0 side. That storage building (last picture) is missing the roof and a wall, and the other walls look to be failing.
