Thunderstorm Wind in Sandusky County, Ohio

A 45-foot TV tower was toppled and damaged a residence along Risingsun Road in southwestern Sandusky County, about three-miles east of Risingsun.

Northern Ohio resided in the warm sector during the late morning through early evening of the 29th as a surface cold front approached slowly from the Upper Midwest and western Great Lakes. Simultaneously, the parent surface low drifted eastward from northeastern Manitoba into far-northern Ontario. The warm sector consisted of moderate to strong MUCAPE, moderate effective bulk shear, and primarily moderate to strong DCAPE in northern Ohio. As a squall line evolved generally eastward across northeast Ohio, it generated very isolated straight-line wind damage in Mahoning County during the early afternoon of the 29th. Later that day, a separate and outflow-dominant squall line generated scattered straight-line wind damage in northern Ohio as the squall line evolved generally eastward. A thunderstorm ahead of this squall line managed to produce a downburst in Medina County.
