Brookville, Ohio – A swarm of tornadoes so tight that he may have crossed the path laid by another ripped in Ohio and Indiana during the night. Tornadoes destroyed houses, broken windows and ended the school year for some students. One person was killed and about 90 were injured.
According to forecasters, storms are among the 53 tornadoes that occurred on Monday in eight US states ranging from Idaho to Colorado and moving east. The last two weeks have been marked by an unusually high tornado in the United States, with no immediate end.
Winds ripped through the roofs – houses looking like gigantic doll houses – knocked down houses, knocked down trees, lowered power lines and lifted a lot of debris as it could be seen by the radar. Road crews had to use snow plows to clean an Ohio highway.
Some of the most significant damage has been reported just outside of Dayton, Ohio. The storm damaged a popular sports center in the city. The Sports Action Sports Center is closed after the destruction of the grounds and the weather-covered site, reported WHIO-TV, a CBS affiliate.
"It's a total devastation," said Kyle Coby, one of the resort's owners.

In Celina, Ohio, Melvin Dale Hannah, 81, was killed when a parked car was taken to his home, Mayor Jeffrey Hazel said Tuesday. "There are areas that really look like a war zone," he said.
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine said the state of emergency in three hard-hit counties, allowing the state to suspend normal purchasing procedures and provide quickly supplies such as water and generators.
The Storm Prediction Center of the National Meteorological Service announced that 14 alleged tornadoes had landed in Indiana, 11 in Colorado and nine in Ohio. Six were reported in Iowa, five in Nebraska, four in Illinois and three in Minnesota and one in Idaho.
Monday marked the 11th consecutive day of record with at least eight tornadoes in the United States, said Patrick Marsh, Meteorologist at the Storm Prediction Center. The last stage of this type dates back to 1980. "We are getting big results lately, and it's certainly unusual," said Marsh.
A tornado with winds up to 140 mph struck near Trotwood, Ohio, a community of about 24,500 people eight miles from Dayton. Several residential buildings were damaged or destroyed, including a complex where the entire roof was torn down and at least three dozen people were treated for cuts, bumps and bruises.
Just before midnight, about 40 minutes after the tornado passed, the National Weather Service tweeted that another was crossing its path, lifting enough debris to be visible on the radar. Only a few minor injuries have been reported to Dayton. Fire Chief Jeffrey Payne called it "pretty miraculous", attributing it to people alert to early warnings. The sirens went off before the storm.
A boil water advisory was issued after the power loss of the city's pumping stations. According to Dayton Power & Light, 64,000 customers were left without electricity.

A high school gymnasium in Dayton has been designated as an emergency shelter until the authorities realize that it is unserviceable. The Vandalia school system tweeted that it is ending the year with two days in advance because of the damage done to the buildings. In nearby Brookville, where the storm ripped the roof of the school, classes were canceled.
In Indiana, a tornado settled on Monday night in Pendleton, about 35 km from Indianapolis. At least 75 homes were damaged on site and near Huntsville, said Madison County Emergency Management spokesman Todd Harmeson. No serious injuries have been reported.
Outbreaks of 50 or more tornadoes are not uncommon, having occurred 63 times in American history, with three occurrences of more than 100 tornadoes, said Marsh. But Monday's swarm was unusual because it took place in a particularly wide geographical area and took place in a particularly active area, he said.
Marsh said heavy pressure on the southeast and an unusually cold trough on the Rockies was forcing warm, moist air into the central United States, triggering violent thunderstorms and tornadoes. And neither system is showing signs of displacement, he said.
