A series of large, fast-moving tornadoes tore through the U.S. midwest on Sunday, leaving carnage in their wake.
Tornado watches are in effect for parts of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa and Missouri, according to the National Weather Service. The tornadoes have produced large hail and damaging winds.
An NWS representative said the storm is "a very dangerous situation," and "it's just getting started," according to Reuters.
Midwesterners and storm chasers are sharing their perspectives of these devastating storms on social media. The hashtag #ilwx, which people have been tweeting along with photos and news of the storms, trended on Twitter Sunday afternoon.
We'll continue to update with more photos and information as the storms continue.
