Keith said the new map is the most comprehensive tornado survey performed to date, outlining the extent and severity of property damage.
The auditor’s office compiled the data from the American Red Cross Dayton-area Chapter, from inspections by the City of Dayton Building Inspection and Montgomery County Building Regulations departments and by its staff members using advanced computer software.
The study noted everything from downed trees, to shingles off roofs to homes and businesses swept from foundations.
