EF0 tornado in Miami County, Ohio

The tornado touched down in a corn field on the west side of Lena-Palestine Road where it produced a clear path of heavily damaged corn stalks. The tornado then crossed Lena-Palestine Road where it destroyed a barn and strewn debris from the barn to the north and upwind of the actual tornado path. A large portion of the barn roof was lifted and thrown upwind into the top of a nearby tree. A tree was also split near this barn. The tornado then continued on the ground and produced heavy damage to a second barn north of the first barn before the tornado lifted. Based on the damage surveyed, the maximum wind speed of this tornado was estimated at 75 miles per hour.

A potent low pressure system moved across the region, bringing strong winds aloft across the Ohio Valley. Showers that developed along and ahead of a cold front associated with this storm system were capable of producing damaging winds and isolated weak tornadoes. This line of showers producing the damage across southwestern Ohio continued past midnight on October 31st and into the early morning hours of November 1st.
