Washington: Devastating storms pounded three central US states Thursday night, spawning massive tornadoes, officials said.

More than 13 million people in the central United States were under tornado watches, the National Weather Service (NWS) said.

A "very dangerous half-mile-wide tornado" touched down in Ohio state, NWS said.

One struck the rural town of Indian Lakes in western Ohio.

"It's pure devastation. I have never seen anything like this in my entire life," Amber Fagan, president of the Indian Lakes Chamber of Commerce, told a Columbus ABC television station.
