Tens of thousands of Ohio residents were without power or water Wednesday in the aftermath of the tornadoes that spun across the state. One person was killed and more than 140 injured.
At least 60,000 people lacked water service in the Dayton area, where ice and water distribution centers were set up. A utility said power had been returned to some 35,000 customers Wednesday, but tens of thousands still were awaiting restoration.
Gov. Mike DeWine declared an emergency in three hard-hit counties, allowing the state to bypass purchasing requirements to speed up delivery of essentials like water and generators.
"We get our share," DeWine told President Donald Trump on Tuesday, responding to the president's remark in a personal call that he didn't think of Ohio when he thought of tornadoes.
"Whatever we have to do, we'll do," Trump told the governor. "We'll take good care of you."
