EF1 tornado in Madison County, Ohio

This tornado developed in Clark County at 1816EST, about 1 mile north of South Vienna and moved east-southeast, entering Madison County about 2 miles west of Summerford.

Some tree damage occurred on Markley Road, just south of east National Road. Most trees only had limbs downed with two being uprooted. The tornado then strengthened with structural damage occurring just south of east National Road on Roberts Mill Road. A trailer attached to a tractor was tipped on its side and a barn on the property lost the west facing wall, with some of the north and south walls also removed. The east facing wall was completely removed from the structure. Around 30 percent of the roof was removed with pieces of the barn blown into a corn field toward the east. Observed damage from the barn was consistent with EF1 tornadic winds. Farther to the east, corn in a field was downed in different directions before the tornado lifted.

Thunderstorms overspread the region during the afternoon and evening hours as a slow moving cold front pushed through the Ohio Valley. The storms produced damaging winds, heavy rainfall and isolated tornadoes. The storms continued into the overnight hours with flooding lingering into the early morning hours.
