GPM Radar Shows Tornado Spawning Thunderstorms

GPM Radar Shows Tornado Spawning Thunderstorms
Tornadoes were reported yesterday evening in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. At least nine twisters were reported between 1:40 PM EST and 6:22 EST (1840 - 2322 utc). This unsettled weather caused many customers to lose electric power in northern Ohio. One powerful storm injured eight people in the northern Ohio town of Celina. The severe weather may also be the cause of two deaths in Erie Pennsylvania. The GPM core observatory satellite had an exceptional view of the extreme weather in northeastern Ohio on Sunday November 5, 2017 at 6:12 PM EST ( 2312 UTC). The GPM satellite scanned tornado
