Suspected tornadoes and tornado warnings spread across several states Thursday as storms marched east over the Midwest.
According to the Columbus Dispatch, authorities in Logan County, Ohio, said late Thursday a suspected tornado had caused a mass casualty event in a trailer park northwest of Columbus.
The National Weather Service also issued tornado warnings for Dubois County in south central Indiana and for central Pulaski County in Arkansas, near West Little Rock. At least one tornado warning was reported near Topeka, Kansas, as well as hailstones as large as apples. In some cases it was described as"gorilla hail," a term said to be coined by stormchaser Reed Timmer to describe particularly large hailstones.The storm system is expected to move east through the end of the week. Forecasters warn as much as four inches of rain could fall in places as the storms stretch from central Louisiana up through central Arkansas.
The storm fell on a stretch of Interstate 70's east-west route through the mountains, snarling ill-prepared traffic and closing the road to truck traffic through Friday. Officials urged anyone who had to travel to take blankets and provisions with them, in case they become stranded.
