There seems to have been contradictory reports. The message that we got from the automatic phone announcement and, I believe the weather radio was that a tornado had been sighted in the area. However, upon turning on Channel 2, they indicated that no circulation had been detected by their radar. If the latter turns out to be true, I question the reason for issuing a warning versus a watch. If they start issuing warnings before actual sightings, people may eventually treat them as "the boy who cried wolf" and start to ignore warnings.
