The National Weather Service, with support and assistance from

brief, and weak tornado touched down just south of Ohio 718

outbuilding was completely destroyed, with part of the structure
landing on an adjacent garage. Parts of the tin roofing were
strewn into adjacent properties and across Ohio 718. A photograph
taken near the damaged location shows a funnel cloud extending
