Tornado Strikes Ohio, Leaving Thousands Without Power
A fast-moving tornado struck the Ohio city of Celina late Monday night, uprooting trees, toppling power lines, tearing through homes and leaving thousands without power as area communities braced for more bad weather.
“We are asking everyone to please stay away and out of the affected areas from the storm,” the Celina Police Department posted on Facebook. “Power lines could still be live from the back feeding of generators. Emergency services need everyone to stay clear of the area so we can sort it out. We have been told that Red Cross is setting up at the Celina Eagles.”
No one was severely injured, according to local news reports. Multiple communities are still under tornado warnings, and local officials are still urging residents to seek shelter, according to WHIO-TV.
