The park has space for a total of 343 campers, and it is still unclear how many people have been affected by the storm.

A local journalist has reported that the storm has caused a mass casualty in the park, with people trapped under the remains of their vans.

A public safety announcement from Logan County read: “(FR/Mass Casualty Incident) Multiple buildings collapse with people trapped in Russells Point after tornado.

‘Gas leaks, accidents, fires and power lines down around Indian Lake. Triage collection point set up.’

Earlier Thursday, multi-county warnings had been issued in Ohio, affecting five counties.
