Northwest Dayton, just into Harrison Twp. Parts of buildings, massive trees, light poles strewn across Needmore and North Riverside. Couldn't get close to the old hood and it's miles east of Trotwood. Tomorrow is going to be a sobering day.

Power went out at 11:11 here in Inner East and most of the city. Not expected to be restored until at least Wednesday night.

Scary trip. Glad to be home.
