Multiple tornado warnings were in effect for southeast Michigan Tuesday evening. A tornado emergency was issued for Union City -- marking the first tornado emergency for the state on record, going back to 1999. Photos showed major damage to a FedEx facility in Portage. The company's facility there sustained heavy damage, with at least 50 people inside, officials said. There were no reports of serious injuries, according to authorities."My heart goes out to all those affected by tonight's severe weather in southwest Michigan. Emergency teams are on the ground and working to assist Michiganders.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear urged residents to prepare for the severe weather -- including "potentially significant tornadoes," flooding, hail and high winds -- expected to hit much of the state over the next few days. One person was killed and several injured in Barnsdall, which sustained "significant damage" due to the tornado, according to Barnsdall Mayor Johnny Kelley.Some 60 to 70 homes in the small town were "totally destroyed," among approximately 350 destroyed statewide, Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt said.
