Developing story: WOOSTER, Ohio — On Saturday, Sept. 18, Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland toured the tornado damage on the campus of the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center in Wooster. The campus serves as the agricultural research arm of the Ohio State University, and suffered severe storm damage the evening of Sept. 16.
The tornado caused millions of dollars in damage, but no serious injuries. Standing outside one of the damaged buildings, Strickland said above all, “We must be thankful that no one was injured and no one was killed here.”
“It’s almost unexplainable,” he added, as he paused to look at the shattered glass, overturned vehicles and fallen buildings that lie scattered across campus.
