EF2 tornado in Muskingum County, Ohio

A strong tornado occurred during the overnight hours of June 6th in a strengthening convective cell as it descended on the west side of Frazeysburg in a cornfield. The tornado then knocked over a phone pole before removing the second story of a home on W 3rd Street and caused one of the load bearing walls to collapse. Two barns were also totally destroyed at this residence and a soft wood pine was also uprooted. Continuing east on W 3rd Street through the middle of the town, two homes had their roofs removed and a small retail shop had 50% of its roof removed. Further east along W 3rd Street there were two uprooted hardwood trees pointed in a northwest direction and also a bit further down the road there were 2 softwood trees uprooted. Finally, at the edge of town on the eastern side near the Frazeysburg Elementary School and on Furnace Street there was an uprooted hardwood tree a few feet in diameter in between two houses. Next to the school, there were two snapped trees that did seem to have a bit of rot in the center of

the trees. The school itself sustained damage to the fascia. The circulation began to weaken and dissipate as it reached the very end of town and the rest of the debris began to fall out. The maximum wind speed found during the track was 130 MPH.
