A destroyed home is seen in Millbury, Ohio, Sunday, June 6, 2010. Authorities say tornados and thunderstorms that swept through the Midwest overnight killed a number of people in Ohio, destroyed 50 homes and damaged a high school gymnasium
The storm knocked out emergency services for a short time, and all the emergency dispatchers and 911 operators had to be moved to a nearby town.
“When the people who are supposed to help you are victims of the storm, it does take you a minute to catch your breath,” Hummer said.
About 35,000 people were without power but it wasn’t clear whether that was directly related to the nuclear plant’s shutdown or because of damage to power lines in the area, he said.
Authorities continue to search wrecked homes and don’t know yet whether anyone is missing.
