Now we're continuing our coverage
of the cluster of storms that
came across Northern Ohio tonight,
going all the way from Toledo to Cleveland.
Let's go to Kaylee Marantet now
who joins us in Oak Harbor for
more severe weather coverage.
Kaylee, what can you tell us
about what you saw tonight?
When did you get out to Oak Harbor area?
Was it after things calmed down
a bit or is it still active?
Things had calmed down quite a bit,
Dan. When we got here,
there was really just a few streets that
we saw the most significant damage.
That included downed trees on homes
in a lot of downed power lines.
A lot of the streets you can't get
through because the power lines are down.
There was even someone from border control
here making sure that people don't go
down these streets where power lines
are still down and may still be active.
You can see some of the damage
here in some of the fields.
It's kind of hard to see because it is dark.
We are in a field here,
but a lot of the the damage came from.
Some of a dairy farm that
was actually over here.
We came over here because we saw so many
trucks and cars lined up on the street.
And when we came to talk to people,
they said that a dairy farm that had
about 400 cows and it had collapsed and
they were coming here to try to help
them wrangle in the cows because they
were all scattered all over the field.
Now we went to a barn over here
where there was a few dozen,
but apparently there's still around
180 cows missing from this dairy farm,
so they're scattered throughout the woods.
I wouldn't spoke with the people that
live at the house and they own the farm.
They said it's pretty much a total loss.
And I spoke with the teenager
that spoke there and she said that
she was in the house and she looked
and saw the funnel cloud coming
down into the field and that's
when she ran into the basement.
Thankfully they are all safe,
but we're going to stay put here
and see what else we can hear.
But reporting live from Oak Harbor,
Keeley Marantett, WTOL 11.
Kaylee, thank you.
Now we continue our coverage here in studio.
Matt Willoughby joined us in
studio and viewers send in
lots of pictures and videos.
In fact, we have to thank them for
that because during our live coverage
from 6:15 to after 8:00 o'clock,
we were just trying to feed
as many as we could on air.
What are they sent in tonight?
Yeah, definitely gave us a bit of a viewpoint
to what we are looking out out there.
But here's a picture of Oak Harbor
for pretty much a funnel cloud
out there that you can tell,
and this is from Blake Loy in a point place.
You can definitely tell they come down
and of course one of the most stunning.
Video videos Here is where we can
see a little bit over that debris
getting flooring put in there.
Watch this, you see that roof coming
off that building right there.
You can definitely still right
there as when you can see the roof
coming off the building and that's
definitely some debris just flying.
In the air right there as we look at
this video right here in incredible
damage to that building right there
at least for that video of course.
And we we have even more of your
pictures and videos out there and
this is another one as we look of
some hail that we're seeing and you
can definitely tell is it come down
looks like some dime sized hail
out there and we saw many reports
of even tennis ball hail.
As well as we've gone throughout
this afternoon and evening,
evening hours,
there's been tons of video begins
being sitting and you'd also continue
to send that video in as we look
at this one from Maria in Tiffin
and also also this last one right
here is from Secret Point.
You can tell from Cody there
is lightning from Cedar Point.
Like I said, this is from Cody Seeger.
You can definitely tell we saw up to
160 lightning strikes within this
storm at one point, even up to 200.
So it was definitely a storm that
even saw some severe thunderstorm
warnings out there.
And this was definitely a system
that was a dangerous one,
and we'll be picking up the pieces as
we go throughout the next couple of weeks.
We'll send it back over to you, Dan.
All right. Thank you.
We continue our breaking news coverage
of the storm damage throughout the area.
You want to check back in with
Chase Bachman over in Oregon.
Chase when this all came through there,
you were pretty quick to get out to Oregon.
Did you see something on your
own or basically just getting
follow up and a lot of damage?
Basically just following
up on a lot of damage, Dan.
When we got down here on Bayshore Rd.
we were kind of driving
down and back and forth,
just kind of getting a sense of the scene.
A lot of people outside of their homes,
outside raking up leaves, branches,
trying to pick up branches,
large branches,
a lot of people out with chainsaws
trying to break up branches just
to try to get them collected
off the roof out of their yards,
just to try to make piles of some of the
debris that had fallen into their yards.
It's pretty calm right now.
You can still see some of the
damage here you could see.
Some of the downed branches right there.
So you can see that right over my shoulder.
I'm going to switch over here
and you can see on that end.
Those are the electrical crews down.
They're still working to get
some of those lines back up.
That's been the challenge right now
going all up and down Bayshore Rd.
But entire area has just been
scattered with branches.
We talked with one woman who saw tons
of tree damage down to the VFW and just
spent all throughout this neighborhood.
Reporting live in Oregon,
Chase Bachman,
WTOL 11 on Fox 36.
Dan
Chase, you make a great point.
You know we're this happened in the
early evening but tomorrow morning
after the sun comes up and we get
a little bit of better picture
of what kind of really damage we
had and also areas that no one
noticed until Daybreak tomorrow.
