Wednesday was a strange day for weather across the nation. Tornadoes hit the Midwest, thunderstorms shot up the East Coast, and multiple places in New York and New Jersey experienced record-high temperatures.
As of this morning The Weather Channel is reporting that there were:
13 confirmed tornadoes in 8 states
676 high wind/wind damage reports
13 reports of large hail
We've collected some of the most striking pictures of the storms and their aftermath. The weather has left 215,000 powerless in the Northeast after high winds — reaching up to 81 miles per hour in some areas — took down power lines.
