PAVILION TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — At least eight tornadoes have touched down in Ohio and three have been confirmed in Michigan as severe storms barreled through the central U.S., killing one man in Tennessee when a tree toppled onto a vehicle he was in. The National Weather Service says confirmed tornadoes touched down Tuesday in Ohio, including five in Warren County in the state’s southwest region. Weather service meteorologist in Michigan Nathan Jeruzal says Wednesday that the tornadoes there touched down one each in Kalamazoo, Cass and Branch counties — all in the southwestern part of the state. Tornadoes were first reported after dark Tuesday in parts of Michigan, Indiana and Ohio, while portions of Illinois, Kentucky and Missouri were also under a tornado watch.  (Photo:  AP)
