cloud was behind him．“I stopped the truck and watched the funnel cloud．It wasabout 100 feet off the ground and I saw it go up and down for a while．It was moving toward
Bradley Road and then suddenly it disappeared．”Snyder said．
Snyder only saw one of the funnel clouds that passed through northeastern 0hio on
Saturday．In Trumbull County，a tornado turned trees onto their sides．Some trees fell onto
houses and cars．Other trees fell into telephone and electrical wires as they went down．
Amanda Sym check was having a party when the storm began．“I knew something was
wrong, ”he said．“I saw the sky go green and pink(粉紅色)．Then it sounded like a train
rushing toward the house．I started crying and told everyone to go to the basement for
protection．”
The tornado caused a 10t of damage to cars and houses in the area．It will take a long time
and much money to repair everything．There was also serious water damage from the
thunderstorms．The heavy rains and high wind caused the power to go out in many homes．
The storms caused serious flooding in areas near the river．More than four inches of rain fell
in parts of Trumbull County．The river was so high that the water ran into streets and houses．
Many streets had to be closed to Cars and trucks because of the high water．This made it difficult
for fire trucks，police Cars，and other rescue vehicles to help people who were in trouble．
Many people who live near the river had to leave their homes for their own safety．Some
people reported five feet of water in their homes．Local and state officials opened emergency
shelters for the people who were evacuated(撤走)．’The Red Cross served meals to them．
“This was a really intense storm，”said Snyder．“People were afraid．Mother Nature can be
fierce．We were lucky this time．No one was killed”
