Officials said there were no reports of serious injuries, per the AP. The National Weather Service said a trained spotter reported a tornado in Dover, Delaware, during Thursday's storms.

In Atlantic Beach on Long Island, video and images posted on social media show a large funnel cloud over the water and small buildings torn apart at a beach club. The weather service confirmed a tornado touched down on the shore, saying it started as a waterspout over the Atlantic Ocean.
