LAKEVIEW, Ohio — Tornadoes tore through several central U.S. states, flattening homes and trailers in an RV park and killing at least three people, authorities said. Crews and cadaver dogs searched for more victims in the rubble Friday.
Search crews went into neighborhoods that had been blocked by gas leaks and fallen trees overnight and made a second pass in areas that were checked in the darkness right after the storm, Dodds said. “A couple flashes of light, and then everything just peppered against the house,” she said. Her husband then saw their garage blow away.
Many of the homes in the area are used as summer cottages by people who come for fishing and boating. Weather officials had yet to confirm many of the tornadoes, but across the region, awestruck residents captured funnels on video.Residents of the town of 4,700 about 70 miles northeast of Indianapolis picked tree branches and sheet metal from their yards Friday. Shingles littered streets and fields. The high school was serving as a temporary shelter.A church was destroyed. A few remnants still stood, as well as a mural depicting a flowing river, with a white awning still attached.
Another tornado damaged homes and toppled trees in Huron County in northern Ohio, officials said, but no deaths or injuries were reported. Storms also damaged homes and trailers in the Ohio River communities of Hanover and Lamb in Indiana.
