The National Weather Service reports twisters also hit in Christian, Effingham, Morgan, and Cass counties. Winds reached up to 65-miles-an-hour in some areas. It knocked several semis over and forced quite a few road closures on the interstates. Only one minor injury was reported in the five counties that were hit.
