...Summary...
The National Weather Service in Wilmington Ohio has confirmed an
EF1 tornado in Troy, Ohio. This tornado occurred on Saturday,
July 23, 2022.

The first noted damage occurred near the intersection of Cheshire
Road and Dorset Road, where several large tree limbs were downed.
Damage became a little more concentrated near the intersection of
Armand Drive and McKaig Ave, with several large tree limbs and
even a few trees downed. Tree damage was also noted in an
apartment complex along Red Cedar Drive.

The most heavily concentrated area of damage occurred near Drury
Lane and Ridge Ave. Numerous very large, healthy trees were
downed, with one trunk snapped at its base, and several other very
large branches snapped not far off the ground. Some minor roof
damage was noted to a couple homes. On W Simpson Street just to
the east, a car was heavily damaged, apparently by a falling tree
limb.

The damage path became narrower near Terrace Place, Market Street,
and West Street. A bank sign was damaged, and several more large
trees and tree limbs were downed. In the neighborhood south of
West Street, a few more homes had minor roof damage, with a fairly
consistent area of tree damage observed as far southeast as
Walker Street and Dakota Street.

The damage described above is believed to have been caused by a
tornado with estimated maximum winds of 90 MPH.

Tree damage was also reported at many other locations in Miami
County. This includes other locations in Troy, such as Stanfield
Road, W Ross Street, and Dakota Street. The rest of this damage is
believed to have been caused by straight-line winds with speeds
of 60 to 70 MPH.

The National Weather Service would like to thank the Miami County
Emergency Management Agency for coordination with this survey.
