Yesterday, if you got an e-mail about a tornado in Eastgate, it was actually false. There were e-mails sent around town, from an unknown source, of a funnel cloud hovering around the Eastgate Mall. At first it sent a lot of people in panic, re-circulating the e-mail and reposting the photos on facebook. However, no 911 calls and no signs or damage at the Eastgate Mall was enough proof for police and fire not to be dispatched.
Furthermore, the National Weather Service in Wilmington Ohio determined the photos to be fake and were manipulated through photo editing.
