| 20:45Z | EF1 | KILN | OH | Greene | Bryon | The tornado first touched down in the 1000 block of Ludlow Road in Beavercreek Township. One barn on the property had roof damage, while the other barn had wall damage. In addition, a silo collapsed. Numerous hardwood and softwood trees were damaged and there was roof and chimney damage to the home. This damage was consistent with low end EF1/high end EF0 damage, with wind estimated at 85 to 90 mph.||Several properties further east along Ludlow Road sustained damage. The most significant being in the 800 block, where a home sustained more than 30 percent of its roof torn off, multiple broken windows, and structural damage to both the exterior and interior walls of the home. Damage to the home was consistent with wind speeds of 90 to 95 mph, EF1 category. Additional significant barn and tree damage occurred on the property.||Further east on Ludlow Road, in the 700 to 500 block, several homes sustained roof damage, with significant damage to barns. Such damage was consistent with high end EF0 damage of 75 to 80 mph.||The tornado continued eastward in the 2400 North Block of U.S. 68. A home received minor siding and roof damage as well as a collapsed chimney, with a fence also destroyed. A large camper was rolled over and the roof was lifted off a brick outbuilding. Damage to this property was consistent with EF1 strength of near 90 mph.||Further east along Clifton Road, structural damage occurred to barns along with roof and porch damage to homes in the 700 and 800 block of Clifton Road. Damage in this area was consistent with EF0 damage of about 75 mph.||Damage became more significant further northeast along Clifton Road, where substantial damage occurred to several barns, along with snapped softwood and hardwood trees. In addition, significant roof and siding damage was present on the residences of two homes in the 2400 block of Clifton Road. Damage here was consistent with low end EF1 between 86 and 90 mph. A sheep farm in this area did experience the loss of five sheep.||The northern most extent of confirmed tornado damage was along State Route 72 and Clifton Road. While there was widespread tree and roof damage along Wilberforce-Clifton Road and State Route 72 south of Clifton, this damage was all in the same direction to the north-northeast, without substantial evidence of back-splatter as associated with rotation. While the wind damage was significant in this area, estimated to be as high as 80 mph, this damage was more consistent with straight line wind damage. |
| 20:56Z | EF1 | KILN | OH | Clark | Cortville | The tornado touched down on Cortsville Road where a barn was destroyed and a large hardwood tree was knocked down.||Damage continued to the east-northeast, particularly at the McDorman Farm on Selma Pike. At this property, multiple buildings were damaged. A significant portion of the roof of one building was completely lifted off and blown into an adjacent field. On another building, multiple sides had siding removed and sustained some roof damage. Exterior walls on multiple sides of a large barn were also damaged.||It is possible that the tornado briefly lifted beyond this property, although additional tornadic damage was observed as far east as Clifton Road. Shutters were removed and lifted from multiple sides of a two-story home. One tree was also downed nearby. An eyewitness report confirmed the presence of a tornado in this vicinity. The tornado is believed to have ended shortly after as no additional damage was observed further east along Clifton Road and within South Charleston. |
| 21:14Z | EF0 | KILN | OH | Madison | Newport | The tornado appears to have touched down at a farm on Roberts Mill Road, where several barns sustained heavy damage. These barns had complete roof removal and the collapse of exterior walls. Barn roofing and wall material was thrown west- northwest across Roberts Mill Road into the tops of trees of adjacent properties, and strewn across fields on the west side of Roberts Mill Road. The damage is consistent with wind speeds around 85 mph.||Other barn damage observed on State Route 38 south of Newport, Old Xenia Road SW south of London, and on State Route 56 southeast of London, was all determined to be nontornadic with no conclusive components of typical tornado damage. |

| 21:37Z | EF1 | KILN | OH | Franklin | Grove City | The tornado initially touched down just south of Orders Road and moved northeast, crossing Hoover Road and I-71, and eventually White Road before lifting just north of White Road and just south of Stringtown Road.||The most significant damage along this path occurred on the west side of I-71, first near Orders Road where 4 large utility poles were snapped at the base and lying across Orders Road. Structural damage was found to multiple townhouses and other structures on the west side of Hoover Road, where a newly built detached garage was completely destroyed, and several townhouses had partial uplift and removal of roofing and damage to exterior walls. Many townhouses had garage doors pushed in, with portions of roofs removed. Debris spatter was indicated on all 4 sides of several structures. Four more large electrical transmission poles were snapped on the west side of Hoover Road. Eyewitness photos and videos confirm a tornado on the ground in this area. The most significant damage in this area was consistent with wind speeds around 105 mph and represents the strongest of the winds associated with this tornado.||As the tornado crossed I-71, it began to weaken and lift as damage became lighter and more intermittent, consisting of tree and minor structural damage to roofing materials. Still, many homes immediately east of I-71 suffered at least minor damage and/or tree damage before the tornado lifted. |
| 22:14Z | EF0 | KILN | OH | Perry | Bruno | An EF0 tornado skipped along a roughly 1.25 mile path. Damage indicators were sparse, however, three pull-behind campers were tossed around at the beginning of the path near Ridenour Road in a convergent pattern and tree damage at the end of the path also indicated a convergent pattern. A single wide mobile home, just off Ridenour Road, was shifted 3 to 4 feet off its foundation. Another trailer had roof damage and debris blown through the windows on the west facing side, and another outbuilding further east along the path had the roof ripped off. Several trees along the path were either uprooted or snapped. |
