The National Weather Service says the storm that tore through the Bath area was an EF2 strength.

That means it had winds of 111 to 135 miles an hour.

Meanwhile, Allendale copes with damage from a storm that shredded several homes.

The National Weather Service says that storm was a likely tornado, but has not been able to confirm it at this time.

Thank you Jeff! I called my friends and family and told them to turn you on their TV. You told us street by street where the storm was and we knew when to take shelter. One of those tornado's came over our house!

Thank you so much for the coverage on Saturday's storms! No other station had any information. Because of your coverage I was able to get my family in a safe place!

I agree with Donna. I signed up for the WeatherCall a couple of weeks ago and it works great!For our weather good or bad we always turn it to channel 26 for the most accurate up to date information. Jeff and his team is the only weather station that stays on T.V and/or radio the whole time during severe weather until it has passed. I only trust channel 26 with my families well being!
