Surveys still ongoing but so far, IWX has confirmed 2 tornadoes. IND has confirmed 3 tornadoes with Bedford being EF2. LOT has confirmed 5 tornadoes from yesterday morning with an EF2 in Newton county.

Yeah, I performed the LOT surveys from yesterday's storms. Suffice to say I did not expect to find EF2 damage.

Actually, parts of CA are indistinguishable from parts of Australia all of the way down to types of trees. However, you are probably right though the damage shot suggests a stronger than average CA tornado-this pix may not be of it.

Actually they are the exact same picture, whoever gave it to the news just photoshopped out the AustraliaWeather part.

Actually some decent video of a tornado that touched down near Monroeville, OH:

CLE also confirmed a 6 mile path of strait line wind damage just northwest of Akron, OH with a storm that prompted a tornado warning a little after 7:30 last night. There were a number of funnel cloud reports, and CLE notes this in their survey:

SOME LARGE TREES WERE SHEARED NEAR THEIR TOPS ALSO CUYAHOGA

FALLS. THE LARGE TREES THAT WERE SHEARED OR SNAPPED NEAR THEIR TOPS

LEAD TO SOME INDICATION THERE MAY HAVE BEEN AN ELEVATED FUNNEL CLOUD

ASSOCIATED WITH THIS STORM. HOWEVER...ASSESSMENT OF THE DAMAGE

INDICATED THAT ROTATION DID NOT REACH THE GROUND.

A 6 mile long 50 to 75 yard wide path of strait line winds, which is interesting.

Problem with the tornado in those pictures...

Real

Not so real...

Apparently either Australia and California have the same exact scenery or its a fake.

Based upon the video on weather .com it's a fake. One major giveaway, besides the structure of the actual tornado is that the grassland in the pix is not green and lush enough.
