Tristate Storm Aftermath: Nature's Slow Recovery, 4 Dead

WKRC-Local 12 highlighted a University of Cincinnati study that documented the recovery of a forest decimated by a deadly tornado 25 years ago.

UC College of Arts and Sciences Professor Theresa Culley told Local 12 that the long-term study found that nonnative, invasive species now dominate damaged parts of the Harris Benedict Nature Preserve, which adjoins the Johnson Preserve in Montgomery.

Blue Ash and Montgomery were devastated by an F4 tornado packing 200 mph winds on April 9, 1999. The storm killed four people and destroyed more than 200 homes.
