In response, the National Weather Service has been alerted and is assessing the situation to determine the storm's intensity and impact.
The NWS confirmed that radar indicated rotation in the area, although they have not yet determined whether any of the damage will be classified as tornado-related.
To further analyze the situation, a drone flyover is scheduled for Thursday. Additional discussions with the NWS are also planned to gain clarity on the extent of the damage.
