9/16 Ohio Tornadoes

Looks like there are a couple of small property damage areas after last night's storms. If anyone knows of others, or people who need help cleaning up storm damage, please get in contact with me.

Athens area
An apparent tornado overturned several trailers at the Pine Aire Village mobile home park in The Plains. It then destroyed part of the high school football stands and press box where a girl's soccer game was in progress. Fortunately all participants and spectators got to shelter before it hit. Final damage I have been able to find then is an auto repair shop on the east side of Athens. Nobody was killed, but a few people had minor injuries from being tumbled in their mobile homes with their belongings.
