Teams with National Weather Service will survey areas in multiple counties Tuesday to see how much damage Monday’s storms caused.

The areas the NWS is expected to survey include near Middletown in Butler County, Pike Township in Clark County and Orient in Pickaway County.

Storm surveyors from NWS previously told News Center 7 that after a storm, they take in storm spotter reports, eye-witness reports and videos, and radar data from the storm to determine whether a tornado hit and how strong it was.

News Center 7 reported on storm damage around the Miami Valley Monday.

In Clark County, residents reported roofs torn off houses, as well as trees and power lines down.

Pike Township Fire Chief Gary Donnelly said they received calls reporting a funnel cloud in the area. Many iWitness7 viewers sent in images of what appears to be this cloud.
