...Summary...
The National Weather Service in Wilmington OH has confirmed an
EF0 tornado in Sardinia, Ohio. This tornado occurred on June 8,
2022.

Widespread minor tree damage was observed throughout Sardinia and
in surrounding areas. Much of this is believed to have been
caused by straight line winds of around 60 to 70 MPH.

A more concentrated corridor of damage was also observed, and
this damage was caused by a tornado. The first tornadic damage was
observed near the intersection of Hope Lane and Purdy Road, with
tree damage extending into a neighborhood south of Charles Street.
The most significant tree damage was observed on Oakdale Ave. A
stand of softwood trees was heavily damaged, with numerous trees
snapped off. Further east, behind some houses, several large
hardwood trees were uprooted. These trees were found to be laying
in different directions.

Additional tree damage was also observed on a consistent path to
the east, crossing OH-32, Siteman Road, and Katterman Road. No
additional damage was found east of Katterman Road.Based on the
tree damage found on Oakdale Ave, the strongest winds in this
tornado are estimated at 75 MPH.

The National Weather Service would like to thank the Brown County
Emergency Management Agency for assistance in completing this
survey.
