The fireman of the city of Selina, Ohio, Brian Davis confirmed that an 81-year-old man died and seven people were injured when a tornado swept through the city shortly before midnight from 27 to May 28. According to authorities, it was damaged before 90 houses wrote USA Today.

Local resident Kylie Post said she did not have a basement, so she and her son were forced to hide from the deadly element, climbing into the bath and covered with a mattress.

“We heard the tornado sirens and then it got really quiet,” Post said. “It sounded like a train was passing next to us, and it took a few minutes.”

The maximum damage was done in the Dayton, Ohio area.

“A large, dangerous tornado touched down last night in northwestern Montgomery County,” the county said in a statement. “We are focusing on life-saving measures, such as closing gas pipelines, as well as searching for people trapped in the sinkhole.”

The National Weather Service has previously reported more than 70 000 homes without light throughout Ohio. At first, the agency stated that the power outages affected 5 millions of people, but then revised this data, notes Fox News. In Dayton alone, about 60 people were left without power—that’s about 000% of the entire area.

“Devastation like the third world war. It’s tough,” Lynch said, describing the damage. “I’m sure it will take several years of recovery.”

The National Weather Service reported that over the weekend, more than 50 tornadoes swept across eight states. From mid-May, tornadoes and violent storms raged in the Midwest, killing at least 10 people and causing serious property damage from winds and floods.

There have been about 30 eyewitness reports of tornadoes in the past 500 days, one of the most active periods since such records began in 1950, according to the Storm Prediction Center.

Late in the evening on May 27 and on the morning of May 28, the weather service issued a series of tornado warnings for Indiana in Ohio, many along the 70 highway that connects the centers of the two states.

27 may more than 60 000 homes and businesses left without electricity in Ohio alone. Residents were recommended to boil water, and those who live in Dayton and Montgomery County were asked to store water when electricity was cut off at waterworks and pumping stations.

Some lanes of the 75 highway north of Dayton were blocked by garbage: excavator trucks had to rake tree branches and rubble from the roadway.

In Indiana, many houses were damaged or destroyed by storms and tornadoes. The meteorological service confirmed that tornadoes swept Pendleton northeast of Indianapolis, damaging more 70 homes.

Todd Harmeson, a spokesman for the Madison County Emergency Management Agency, said emergency officials are literally going door to door to make sure residents are okay. He advised residents to “stay indoors and seek shelter in place if possible.”

Local authorities reported six tornadoes in the eastern part of the state, without injuries. In some places did not even have time to appear warning.

El Reno, a suburb of Oklahoma City, is still recovering from a devastating tornado that 25 killed at least two people in May, destroyed a motel and destroyed a fleet of mobile homes.
