OCOEE, Tenn. – Families, volunteers and emergency responders continue to pick up the pieces in the wake of a storm that left two dead in the Ocoee community in Polk County early Wednesday morning.
The National Weather Service confirmed a category EF-3 tornado, characterized by wind speeds of between 136 and 165 mph, struck the area.
By Wednesday afternoon, the Polk County Emergency Management Agency estimated the storm measured three miles wide and four miles long, running north. The agency earlier believed the storm was less than half that size, when it had been searching the area under dark skies and downpours of heavy rain.
