There were no injuries reported.

The Jay Fire Department responded to a report of a tornado on Pine Level Church Road near Highway 178, but nothing was found.

    It woke me up last night as well; it was about 90-120 seconds long. Not a tornado but straight line winds from a gust front. It was very loud and very steady!

    I live in Seminole and heard the exact same thing that lasted about 30 seconds. I never wake up to noise, but this woke me up.
