The Northeast Region of the American Red Cross has deployed five disaster workers to assist Ohio residents following Monday's tornado outbreak.
A growing number of responders from across the state are en route to assist storm victims in and around Dayton, Harrison and Butler Townships, Brookville, Trotwood, and Riverside. The group estimates that approximately 130 residents are currently seeking refuge following damage or destruction to their homes.
