The National Weather Service is trying to determine how much damage was wreaked during Thursday's storms and tornadoes.
CLEVELAND — Tornado sirens howled in parts of Northeast Ohio on Thursday afternoon. As residents sought cover and tree branches snapped, parts of the region were left with only clean-up Friday morning.

"We are assembling two survey teams to investigate potential tornado damage that occurred yesterday evening. We will report our findings here as information comes in. If you had storm damage from yesterday, please let us know!" the agency announced on social media.
