The tornado began in the Little Miami River valley, within the

hillside rising up out of the valley. More sporadic tree damage 
was noted along the hillside rising up from the southern side of

received structural damage. One home had a total removal of its 
second story while an adjacent home had partial removal of its 
roof. Winds at this location were estimated to be at 95 mph, or 
EF-1 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale.

The tornado continued northeast along the Little Miami River, 
with more damage found near the intersection of Mason Morrow 
Millgrove Road and Woodward-Claypool Road. Widespread tree damage 
was also reported on a large stretch of the Little Miami Bike 
Path. The tornado then appeared to weaken as it moved northeast, 
causing more minor tree damage and some minor structural damage to
a residence before ending. 

The National Weather Service would like to thank Warren County
