|
A tornado touched down just northwest of Fremont near the intersection of Shade Road and Four Mile House Road. A house was heavily damaged and a motor home destroyed near this location. From the initial touchdown site, the tornado traveled northeast for around three and a half miles and then dissipated east of State Route 19 just to the south of the Ohio Turnpike. A second home was heavily damaged near Booktown Road at State Route 19. Elsewhere along the damage path, a few homes sustained minor damage and seven barns were leveled. One of the barns contained a collection of antique cars which were destroyed. Many trees and power poles were also downed along the damage path which was generally no more than 50 yards in width. |
