Several tornadoes have been confirmed in a pair of states after another round of severe weather hit the South and Midwest. These twisters left structural damage behind, but there were no deaths reported from the storms.

Here are the latest impacts of this fast-moving storm cluster.

An EF1 tornado blew through Phillipsburg Monday afternoon, tearing the roof off a home and damaging several nearby barns. A National Weather Service survey team said the twister touched down at 2:18 p.m. with wind speeds up to 105 mph.

“All the sudden a big train sound came through here,” Steve Woolf, Clay Township trustee who lives across the street, told WHIO.com.

Woolf had been in the basement with his wife and dogs during the first tornado warning. As they came upstairs, the second tornado warning was issued, and he saw his neighbor’s roof coming right for his home
