Seven
tornadoes touched down across the Tri-State area of Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio
on March 2, 2012, the largest of which were in Holton, IN, Crittenden and
Piner, KY, and Moscow, OH. All of the tornadoes measured at EF3 on the Enhanced
Fujita Scale.
Rob
Hanavan and his crew at Rainbow International of Cincinnati were called in by
area insurance agents in an attempt to board up windows and save what they
could as the storms moved toward Moscow, a small southwestern Ohio village with
a population of 310. However, road closures prevented Hanavan’s four dispatched
crews from entering town and they were forced to retreat.
