A couple areas of thunderstorms Tuesday afternoon and evening produced at least one tornado, along with dozens of reports of wind damage and even large hail.
The National Weather Service in Cleveland is surveying potential tornado damage in Hancock, Huron and Lorain Counties on Wednesday.
The first tornado NWS meteorologists found began a half-mile south of Rawson in Hancock County, which then lifted 7 miles later a quarter-mile west of the Findlay Airport. They rated it EF-0, having damaged or destroyed two barns and blowing down several power poles and trees.
Survey crews continue to look at damage in nearby areas to determine if it was caused by a tornado or straight-line winds.
Fairfield County had the largest hail, as big as 2- to 2-and-a-half inches wide. That’s about the size of an egg or tennis ball.
Trees received most of the wind damage; however, the wind overturned about 10 campers at an RV dealership in Jeffersonville and damaged a silo and barn in Fairfield County.
