At least two people have died in a possible tornado that hit an Ohio mobile home park, and significant injuries and flattened buildings were reported in an Indiana town as severe weather struck several states Thursday, officials said.

Logan County, Ohio, Sheriff Randall Dodds said that there were two deaths at the Geiger Mobile Home Park in Lakeview, north of Dayton, after a reported tornado hit the area.

Speaking to NBC's "TODAY" show on Friday, Dodds said it is possible that more injuries or deaths could be confirmed as the day progresses.

"It's devastating — devastation beyond belief. It will probably be even more severe when daylight comes up," he said.

Heavy lifting equipment is needed to gain access to some houses damaged by the storm, Dodds said. He added that some areas had been searched twice but deputies would again comb the area with dogs to make sure no one is trapped.
