What the National Weather Service wrote
The tornado touched down west of Woodward Road in Brown County, affecting areas of
Woodland Drive before crossing State Route 131. At this point the tornado was in its formative stages, with mainly EF-0 rated damage across State Route 131 and Black Oak Road. Within the Lake Lorelei community, the tornado strengthened and produced extensive tree damage in neighborhoods on the west side of Lake Lorelei. Many mature, tall trees were snapped or uprooted, some of which fell on homes and vehicles. Roof damage also occurred, as well as porches uplifted on a few homes. The tornado continued northeast across Lake Lorelei and began to weaken as it exited the Lake Lorelei community and crossed Vera Cruz Road. The tornado continued to produce
concentrated and significant tree damage on the east side of Vera Cruz Road north of Fayetteville-Blanchester Road, and likely lifted just west of Stark Road.
