The National Weather Service in Wilmington has confirmed that tornadoes touched down in Auglaize, Butler, Clinton, Darke, Licking, Mercer and Warren counties in Ohio, as well as Franklin County, Ind., during a severe weather event Tuesday, May 7.
Following this week’s damage assessment by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in the 11-county area affected by this month’s tornadoes, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has initiated several federal and state disaster aid mechanisms which could bring financial relief to Ohioans affected by the severe weather incidents.
Red Cross volunteers and staff have been on the ground since the deadly tornadoes struck on March 14, working tirelessly with community partners to help the individuals and families impacted by these storms. Anyone affected by the central Ohio tornadoes, and needing assistance, should call 1-800-RedCross.
