EF1 tornado in Darke County, Ohio

The tornado initially touched down just inside the Ohio state line in southwest Darke County, about 2 miles south of the village of Hollansburg. Damage began as downed trees along with a barn roof and walls that were lifted and carried about 200 yards downwind on Hollansburg-Richmond Road. There was evidence of a convergent debris pattern and some evidence of back splatter, indicative of a tornado. The tornado continued over open fields until it destroyed another barn, just south of Moore Road, completely removing the roof and roof joists and collapsing exterior walls. There was also siding and awning damage to the home, as well as a large uprooted tree. The damage in this area was consistent with EF1 winds of 90 mph.

The tornado continued to Payne Road, resulting in some roof and siding damage to a barn, more indicative of EF0 damage.

Thunderstorms developed during the evening hours along a warm front lifting slowly north across the region. Many of the thunderstorms produced tornadoes, including a few strong to violent tornadoes.
