Oxford, Ohio – Severe storms swept through Greater Cincinnati, leaving a path of destruction in their wake. Reports have surfaced of a grain silo that has fallen and is now blocking Stillwell Beckett Road in Butler County, sparking concern among residents in the area.
An eyewitness, Holly Mullen, described the experience as feeling like a train had collided with her house. The violent gusts of wind shook her entire home, leaving her terrified by the unexpected force of nature. Additionally, downed power lines have been reported in the vicinity due to the fallen silo, further complicating the situation for first responders and law enforcement.
Authorities have not provided an estimated timeline for when the road will be cleared and reopened to the public. The storms on Tuesday triggered multiple tornado warnings in Butler County and southeastern Indiana, heightening the risk of further damage and disruption in the region. Furthermore, heavy rain has led to multiple flash flood warnings across Cincinnati, intensifying the threat of potential flooding in low-lying areas.
As the severe weather threat persists through the night, residents are advised to exercise caution and stay informed of any updates or warnings issued by local authorities. Wednesday is expected to bring another round of storms in the evening, with the possibility of more severe weather conditions. Despite the tumultuous weather pattern, conditions are projected to stabilize by the end of the week, offering a reprieve from the chaos.
Looking ahead, the weekend forecast indicates a mix of dry conditions and possible showers on Saturday afternoon, with Mother’s Day expected to be mostly dry albeit cooler. With highs reaching the upper 60s, residents are encouraged to stay vigilant and prepared for any unforeseen weather events in the coming days.
