[Ohio-talk] Ohio-talk] Dayton storms

[Karen L Warner]

Next phase--governor DeWine has arrived--federal funds are advised.  Generators are on the way for the pump stations but it will take an additional twelve hours to go into effect. People driving in damaged area to gaulk.  Will be fined if caught.  Children's medical center put on reserve generators and surgeries are cancelled. Additional shelters opened.  Preliminary findings that beavercreek area had an EF3 tornado where winds were 130-160.   A lot of wide spread damage.  Winds snapped just the tops of trees.  Three apartment complexes in trotwood damaged.  MORE RAIN TO COME THIS AFTERNOON
            Will continue later on.   Karen Warner

They said tornado crossed I 75

>>The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise expectations for blind people because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and their dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
