The Comerica Bank on Eureka Road at Telegraph Road had the sign and pieces of the exterior wall pulled down by strong winds.

"I talked to the building inspector and the fire marshal," building owner Matt Kornmeier said. "They said the same thing you and I have said. It must have been a tornado, but they haven't had any official word on it."

About 100 yards away, a small strip mall had its roof ripped off and dropped into the parking lot.

There wasn't any flooding damage at the strip mall, but crews have plenty of cleaning to do.

"So the roof is gone," Kornmeier said. "It kind of picked up everything inside -- all the ductwork and all the trusses and whatever -- and just set it down in the parking lot. All the electric, all the lights, everything."

The National Weather Service said there hasn't been official confirmation that a tornado touched down in the area, but there was rotation on the radar.

No injuries were reported. All the buildings were shut down because there was a smell of gas in the area Wednesday morning.
