VIRGINIA BEACH, Va (AP) — Officials are assessing tornado damage Monday after the storm moved through the City of Virginia Beach Sunday, damaging dozens of homes, downing trees and causing gas leaks.

The National Weather Service confirmed Monday that the tornado that touched down Sunday evening was an EF-3, with wind estimates of 140 to 150 mph. No injuries were reported, but Director of Emergency Management David Topczynski says officials assessed 115 damaged structures and that number will likely grow.

Severe weather has damaged communities around the U.S. over the weekend. A tornado was also confirmed in Florida and there’s historic flooding on the Mississippi River. In Maine, some 50,000 homes and businesses were without power Monday morning after a windy rainstorm.
