Tornado warning Jefferson County

Not a good sign-debris falling from sky. TTY later.

Update
Lots of confusing info. Radio reported tornado on the ground in town here, nothing on scanner, though. Somebody (Stoughton?) got hit hard before we got this though, as shingles and shit started falling from nowhere. Scanner reporting wall cloud west of town. We hear hail from our uncomfortable silence in the basement.

Update 2
Second tornado, this one ten miles west of town. Meanwhile, lightning just struck something on this block-sounded like an explosion. Jefferson County sucks.

Update 3
These God damn things keep forming! This is the fifth time they've sounded the sirens for touched down tornados i the area. #$@%$%^ Jefferson County. Good news-I still have power, which hopefully means we're okay.

Update for posterity
Links to NWS report on the tornados and a map of the tornado tracks.
