I live a little north of Dayton, but I’m a heavy equipment operator and dump truck driver in the trades working in Dayton every day. It is so sad to say that now, April 2024, most of these places still look the same to this day. Still, in some neighborhoods, there’s roofs with blue tarps on them every where you look.
Nicely done video. I lived just northwest of Beavercreek and within 1 mile of the Beavercreek, Ohio moderate to high end EF-3 tornado....which I video taped in 3 videos that evening, May 27, 2019 while we were under a tornado warning. I knew that particular tornado would barely miss me to my south as this tornado moved to a east/southeast direction into northern Beavercreek. We did not lose power and got light rain and barely heard that tornado....a dull jet engine noise is all I heard and we had light to moderate winds and had just very minor damage where I lived in NW Beavercreek at that time, but my workplace before I retired in Beavercreek/Riverside lost its roof and part of a south wall from that tornado. Really a Memorial Day evening I will never forget.
I needed to see this. I started crying because it bought back memories of that night...but it reminds me of everything I survived. The next morning it was so surreal hearing the birds sing like nothing happened and their world was just going on.
My thoughts exactly while watching this I’m thankful none of my family was hurt a tree fell on my house but none of us where hurt but seeing the tornado from the roads like that just sends shivers down my spine and fear in my heart like Idek what happened for us to get 15 tornadoes in one night
I was right there on I-75 and caught the on dashcam as I headed south. I was one of the 1st to render aid. It was such a crazy night. One of the tornados passed behind me, and then I drove into the 2nd one. The southern one on I-75 is the one I drove into. I'll never forget the screams and those buildings. It was the wildest storm I ever experienced.
I just moved to Dayton a few months back..the devastation is STILL here..I was simply shocked to see huge houses and mansions...SUPER damaged and STILL standing..roofs tore off,all the windows broken out of gone and trash EVERYWHERE...its amazing moving from Columbus 2 hours away..and never knowing 19 tornadoes hit Dayton!😳
Considering these neighborhoods weren't doing so well in the first place, I have to wonder if they will ever get rebuilt. There was an abandoned trailer park in the area that got consumed by people who lost their homes and got desperate, it is absolutely devastating to see people get put in those positions. The video is on the channel, not the best video but it is really sad as this is my home base.
@@inheritthewasteland7264 I can share ALSO..the Revitilization is booming..only problem is..a lot of the people that are careless need to get the hell away if they are not a asset in some way to ANY community!!I hate seeing people even throw trash down..driving crazy..any type of disrespect to communities and people is not acceptable nor tolerated with me!!!
That Kelly Ave was a disaster. I was showing one of the apartment buuldings to a client just a few days prior. I was stunned to drive through the area just a week after the damage occurred. Honestly I cried as I drove through various areas. Sinclair Park, Northridge, Trotwood, Beavercreek and more. Shoup Mill Road, Riverside Drive. Just heartbreaking. As a Realtor I needed to know the damage to homes occupied by clients and friends. I helped as I could.

Nice video. One side of my street was hit that night (my side) here in Huber Heights .. Luckily my house only lost a few shingles and some siding. We did have massive trees split and fall everywhere. One was just inches away from taking out half of my house. We took shelter in our small bathroom with mattresses over top of us and could feel the walls and house shaking as it came through. I can honestly say that right at that moment, that was the first time in my entire life, I wasn't sure if we (my 2 kids, my mom, and i) were going to be okay or not smh. It was the most terrifying and unsettling feeling I've ever felt. Especially when my kids started panicking and crying and my 10 year old hugging her 2 year old baby brother just kept asking over and over if we were going to be okay the closer she could here it getting to us 🥺. As a mom that (usually) always has everything under control, it was truly a helpless feeling. Now looking back at these videos and all the devastation, I thank God again for how blessed and protected we were that night 🙏
This was a truly scary night for ohio it wasnt just Dayton other sections of the state got tornadoes in circleville ohio a funnel attempted to touchdown above the new sofidel plant.
Curious....how can a pop up reporter talk about anyone driving through and not helping those people out and he seems to be doing the same. Didn't see him help nobody. Just walking around doing what they do best
If you listen to the narration, you'll hear how I stopped time and time again to help moving debris, getting cars untagled from dead cable lines and helping an array of random things. There would be a ton more video if that wasn't the case, but the need was obvious to stop and help, it would have been awesome if the people jamming up the roads doing facebook live would have done the same.
special redd. Curious...how can one man record himself helping others when his hands are busy um, helping others? If he says he helped, he helped. Are you of the type to get someone else to record you or get your tripod set up so you can get a moment of glory for a good deed? Seems so.

I have been searching for a video just like this for it feels like ever! Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to put this together!!
Born and raised in Dayton but relocated to Xenia. Was truly a terrifying event. Still recovering. Definitely grateful to be alive.
Very good video
Thank you

Thank you for this footage.
I bought a load of lumber into Dayton the next morning after that tornado. It was pretty messed up. Getting into town in a semi was interesting

Our family hunkered down in our basement that night. Our house had some roof damage. Still scared of thunderstorms now.
The lookey loos pissed me off
The ODOT cam from I-70 in the beginning is from the Park Layne tornado in 2017.
Oh hell... You are absolutely right. That is absolutely embarrassing !
Its all good. Its happens. Overall good video!
New grocery store soon to open on Salem Ave.GEM CITY.
Man she was so so scared for people... I'm gonna miss the living room and lil caesars
That tornado footage was NOT the may 27 it was park Layne Ef-1
Yes it was... terrible mistake, absolutely embarrassing !
