DAYTON, OH - Residents throughout Old North Dayton continue to rebuild after multiple tornadoes touched down earlier this week.

As you walk down Troy Street it's difficult to find homes and business that weren't affected.

Eddie Whitehead told Spectrum News 1 Ohio that he grabbed his dog, Frankie, as fast as he could and headed for the bathroom, but was unable to get there in time.

“I grabbed her and we were going to try and make it to the bathroom at that point because it was the closest point. The basement was far away, so I started heading towards my bathroom and then my attic access had blown open and the wind was coming through and out this front bedroom window and it was blocking me from getting into the bathroom, so we just went down right there in the hallway,” he said.

The two survived the night. Whitehead was picking up debris on his front lawn when we spoke on Thursday.

The next block over, Ana Rivra and her staff were serving empanadas and handing out water bottles for anyone who needed them. Her own restaurant, La Colombiana, lost power because of the weather.

"You have to practice what God tells you. You have to help people and this is the best chance you have. You don't have these chances every day. And it's very important to do it when people need it,” she said.

Back on Troy Street, Oberer's Flowers said they lost nearly half of their inventory. Their power went out and the roof of one of their greenhouses was ripped off during the storm.

The Frito-Lay warehouse and local grocery store, Grocery Lane, were severly damaged as well.

At 1000 N. Keowee St., the Salvation Army was packing supplies, sending out Canteens and opening their doors to anyone who needed to charge a phone, eat or just take a break.
