The same thunderstorm that produced the deadly Seneca County tornado spawned another tornado in northwestern Huron County. This tornado touched down near the intersection of Young Road and State Route 4 southeast of Bellevue and northwest of Hunts Corners. The tornado moved northeast for around seven and a half miles before entering Erie County north of Monroeville near the intersection of Section Line Road and State Route 113. The tornado caused some damage in Lyme Township. The township hall and garage located on Young Road near Section Line Road were severely damaged. Trucks and other heavy equipment stored in the garage were destroyed. As the tornado continued northeast it destroyed a few barns and caused minor damage to some homes. Many trees and power poles were downed along the damage path which was mostly 25 to 50 yards in width.
