59 Homes Destroyed, 500 Damaged After EF-3 Twister In Ohio: ‘We Live In A Trauma Now’

Nearly 500 homes were damaged and 59 were destroyed in Trotwood after Monday night’s EF-3 tornado tore through the city.

In Trotwood there were no fatalities and the fire department transported four people to hospitals, said Trotwood city manager Quincy Pope. Another 30 people have been transported after the tornado because of inability to breathe without air conditioning or inability to get to needed medications, said fire chief Richard Haacke.

“It took a minute to process this, just like a death — the trauma,” said Norman Roland, a resident of the Salem Bend Condominiums off Nantucket Road. “We live in a trauma now.”
