Staff Report
Clark County was among the hardest hit areas after another round of violent storms pounded the region Sunday evening.
News Center 7's John Bedell said School Road in New Carlisle was among the hardest hit areas. He reported trees split in half and signs down. Residents told Bedell that 48 hours of cleanup were undone by Sunday's storms.
In Enon, telephone poles were bent and lines were down along Dayton Road. Just outside of Springfield, two trees fell on Dayton Road at Innesfallen Road, trapping a car.
There were several reports of trees into houses -- one on Beacon Street in Springfield and the other on the 4000 block of Middlebrook in Beavercreek.
Mark Zimmerman, who lives on South Wright Street in Dayton, said a 30-foot tree branch fell through the roof of his laundry room.
"There's a big spear going right through my ceiling in my laundry room," he said. "If I had been standing there I'd be dead."
News Center 7's Steve Baker said heavy rains overwhelmed Troy's storm drains. The fire department said it was busy for about three hours during the storm because of accidents. Residents said it was raining so hard that they could not see. They said the rain was nearly horizontal.
Storm Center 7 Meteorologist Rich Wirdzek said most of the day Monday should be dry; however, there is a 30 percent of more showers and thunderstorms tonight.
The following are updates on warnings issued by the National Weather Service:
The American Red Cross said that it has now closed two shelters. The shelters in Logan County and Shelby County were closed after residents were allowed to return to their homes.
