EF0 tornado in Auglaize County, Ohio

The tornado appears to have first touched down in a small wooded area along Town Line Road, south of the intersection with Middle Pike. Hardwood trees, with trunk diameters between 6 to 18 inches, were uprooted and snapped here. Debris was lofted and carried northeast up to approximately 100 yards. This damage was likely the result of 75 to 85 mph winds associated with an EF0 tornado.

The next damage point was along Middle Pike, east of the intersection with Town Line Road. The wooden supports of approximately 75 yards of guardrail were bent over or snapped toward the north and some roofing was removed from a small outbuilding on the north side of the road. One barn was destroyed and another was damaged farther northeast near the intersection of Blank Pike and Stiles Road, where debris was lofted and dropped in a field 100 to 150 yards to the northeast. EF0 tornado winds likely ranged from 75 to 85 mph in both of these locations.

The tornado then appeared to lift briefly before touching down again on Boundry Road, north of Blank Pike. Structural damage to a barn and a small shed occurred here. Trees with trunk diameters of approximately 6 to 12 inches were also snapped, lofted and carried 50 to 100 yards. The EF0 tornado winds here were estimated to be between 65 and 75 mph.

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.
