As of 10:30 p.m. no injuries had been reported.
The National Weather Service will be conducting damage assessments in the coming days to determine whether the storms that moved through were confirmed tornadoes.
The storms came from the outer bands of Tropical Storm Cristobal, which is churning in the Gulf of Mexico on a path toward the U.S. Gulf Coast, near Louisiana.
