CELINA, Ohio — At least eight people have been injured after a possible tornado hit a small Ohio city.

Mercer County officials say six people were hurt when a restaurant in Celina (suh-LEYE’-nuh) was damaged during Sunday’s storms. One person was injured at another business, and one was hurt in a car crash after a utility pole fell. The injuries weren’t believed to be life-threatening.

WHIO-TV reports that fellow farmers helped a family rescue nearly 400 cows from a flattened barn near Padua.

The National Weather Service plans to review damage to confirm whether one or more twisters struck the area.
