Dear national media -- Celina is not near Dayton. It's several counties away and isn't a suburb. The storm that produced the tornado in Celina was different than the storm near Dayton.

If you're more of a visual learner, the last time we had a storm of this magnitude was in 2014. Rural roads were transformed into this. Plan accordingly, have fun and be safe tonight. Be where you want to be by no later than 6pm if you don't want to get caught in the heavy stuff.
