But police have not had any reports of any storm-related injuries, police and fire officials said.
“I don’t believe there were any transports to hospitals that were storm-related,” Riverside Fire Chief Daniel Stitzel said.

The storm’s path was south through the city “kind of leap frogging its way down from (Ohio) 202 to 201,” said Police Major Matt Sturgeon.
It hit Springfield Street in Dayton before going to Overlook Mutual Homes off Airway Road, with trees and debris falling in the complex where many units are connected.
Stitzel said the most serious damage at the Overlook complex was on Nimitz Road, where “the entire street was covered” with trees and debris.

The storm then went south and then east, causing the most serous damage in the city at the Colonial Village apartment complex, officials said.
The two-story brick apartment complex sustained roof and siding damage, with some portions of the top of the building found at a shopping center down the street, fire officials said.
The storm “hit there pretty significantly,” Stitzel said.
Damage was also reported in the area off Spinning Road near Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, where military personnel live in Riverside. That area is overseen by Wright-Patterson and is not Riverside’s jurisdiction, Stitzel said.
Mad River schools Superintendent Chad Wyen said after driving through the district all morning, four schools are without power, but there is no structural damage.
