What the National Weather Service wrote
Another brief tornado touched down near the intersection of 600 East and 250 S, just north of Lincolnville. After touching down in an open field, the circulation struck an older wood barn, causing the west-facing wall to fall in and some roof material to be blown off. Mud splatter was observed on the north-facing wall of the barn. A few trees were observed blown down facing west immediately north of the touchdown location. The tornado then quickly dissipated as it approached Salamonie Lake Reservoir. The damage was consistent with a EF0 with maximum winds of 80 mph. Maximum width was 25 yards and the tornado was on the ground for around one tenth of a mile. No injuries were reported.
