SHELBY, Ohio — Much of the eastern Great Lakes and mid-Atlantic have woken up to damaged buildings, closed schools, and dark homes and businesses after powerful storms that spawned at least one tornado.
The National Weather Service says a tornado touched down Sunday evening in Shelby, Ohio, about 90 miles (145 kilometres) southwest of Cleveland. A half-dozen homes were damaged and at least six people were injured.
The weather service says high winds in Pennsylvania that may have been tornadoes flattened a house and several barns and blew out windows. Toppled trees are blocking streets.
