Several reports of downed trees and power lines came pouring into the News Center 7 newsroom on Saturday night while power crews worked to restore power to about 1,200 customers across several counties.

Tornado sirens went off in Greenville around 8:30. Darke County dispatchers told us the city set the sirens off, even though there wasn’t a tornado warning or watch in effect.

A severe thunderstorm warning was issued for Darke County, but weather officials said they had seen no evidence of funnel cloud.

Greenville received damage from 60 mile per hour wind gusts and 1 inch diameter hail. It’s likely straight line winds went through the area.
