F1 tornado in Stark County, Ohio

A F1 tornado touched down just west of Brewster at 5:45 p.m. on June 22nd. This tornado tracked to the east northeast and finally lifted near Navarre. This tornado had a damage path roughly four miles in length and 50 to 75 yards in width. Extensive damage was done in Brewster, especially on the west side of the town. Five houses, two garages and one car were destroyed on West 4th Street with other homes elsewhere in Brewster sustaining lesser damages. Twelve mobile homes were also destroyed or damaged enough to be declared uninhabitable in Brewster. A local utility company had roughly $300,000 in damage and repair costs. The tornado continued to Navarre and finally lifted after damaging a few more homes and buildings. It was estimated that over a thousand trees were downed along the damage path with 400 reported down in Brewster and another 300 down in Navarre. Some of this damage may have been caused by straight line winds associated with the parent thunderstorm. Most of the structural damage along the path was caused by toppled trees. The City of Brewster alone spent $450,000 for clean up costs and repairs to city property.
