EF1 tornado in Greene County, Ohio

The tornado initially touched down at 0437EST in far northeast Montgomery County, near the intersection of Mitchell Drive and Spinning Road. The tornado moved quickly east-northeast and entered Greene County, just past Airway Road as it moved into the far southern portions of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base at 0438EST.

A restoration hangar at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base received minor structural damage with sheet metal ripped off. Some planes that were in the process of being restored also suffered damage due to flying debris. This damage was notable enough to warrant EF1 strength winds of around 100 mph. Additional damage occurred along Loop Road, where guard rails were bent and several hardwood trees were broken and snapped. A few of the dwellings on the eastern side of the base had damage to the roofs as shingles were ripped off.

More residential damage was observed just east of the base, with quite a bit of shingles lost on the roof of an apartment complex, just behind a grocery store. Based on the damage, the tornado weakened as it traveled further eastward from this point, with mainly tree damage observed. The last bit of tree damage was found near University Boulevard, just west of the Student Union at Wright State University.

Showers and thunderstorms developed during the early morning hours ahead of a cold front moving through the Ohio Valley.
