Storm clouds

Storm clouds hang low as the sun attempts to break through to the west of Coldwater on Thursday night while tornado sirens sound in the village. A small "cold-air" funnel cloud, which is considered weak and short-lived, temporarily touched down in the Burkettsville area about 7:30 p.m. but no damage was reported as it moved northeast. Tornado sirens also went off in St. Henry, Coldwater, Chickasaw, Montezuma, New Bremen and St. Marys. No damage was reported in those villages either.
