Local authorities used snowplows to clear debris from major thoroughfares following a massive tornado in Ohio.
A massive tornado that tore through one of Ohio's largest cities Monday night leveled homes and entire apartment complexes and knocked out power and water to tens of thousands of people.
Despite the widespread destruction assessed during a tour of the city at daybreak, Hosford said there were no reports of fatalities in Dayton or surrounding communities. But an undetermined number of people were injured and displaced. While Hosford said he was unaware of anyone reported trapped in the rubble, search-and-rescue teams were going door-to-door in hard-hit neighborhoods to make sure everyone made got out of harm's way when the buzzsaw-like funnel cloud stuck.
Similar threats on Wednesday will stretch from Texas all the way to New Jersey, with tornado threats highest in the southern Plains. More heavy rain could mean more flooding.
