"It started getting super loud and then louder and louder," Canaan Kuykendoll of Madison Township said. "I just saw three trees get picked up and like tossed and they were just weightless."
Kuykendoll was home when the storms swept through. He said he was upstairs playing video games when the roof started to tear off above him.
"It started flapping in the wind like paper and I was just so in shock," Kuykendoll said. "Then it was like misty and rain was hitting my face and I thought I was gonna fly or like get tossed."
The Butler County Sheriff's Office said its dispatch center received several reports of homes and property around Madison Township that were damaged or affected by the storms.
Matt Haverkos, director of Butler County EMA, said more than a dozen homes and properties were impacted.
