The National Service Weather issued an alert late afternoon for parts of Indiana, Michigan and Ohio until 11 p.m. The warnings have been updated to include parts of Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and Missouri until 2 a.m., according to a post online.
Tornadoes have been hitting the midwest states for almost two weeks, with video footage first circulating after a storm ripped through Iowa and Nebraska on April 26. Nearly two days after at least four people were declared dead following a deadly tornado in Oklahoma.
Power outages and property damage have been reported in both Michigan and Indiana, with no reports of injuries or deaths yet.
