A huge tornado that plowed through the central US state of Ohio injured several people and left millions more without power, officials said on Tuesday.
The twister barrelled over the town of Dayton late Monday, damaging homes and uprooting trees. No deaths have been reported so far.
The National Weather Service said the tornado cut electricity supplies to five million people and parts of the state faced the risk of flash flooding in the wake of the storm.
“We have lost power to both water plants and pump stations. First Responders are performing search and rescue operations and debris clearing,” the official account for the city of Dayton tweeted.
