A tornado pulverized buildings around Dayton, Ohio, early onTuesday, injuring at least 35 people and requiring emergency officials to send out snowplows to clear debris from a major highway, officials and media reports said.
At least two other tornadoes touched down near the city, including one near Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, just east of the city, media reports said.
At least 35 people in and around Dayton went to hospitals with injuries, most of them minor, according to Elizabeth Long, a spokeswoman for the Kettering Health Network.
“We’ve had injuries ranging form lacerations to bumps and bruises from folks being thrown around in their houses due to the storms,” she said.
There have been no reports of fatalities.
“We had a great warning system in the area,” Long said.
The latest storm follows tornadoes and floods killed at least six people in Oklahoma during the previous week, including two people in El Reno on Saturday.
