Survey Summary:

The tornado developed in West Chester in Butler County, near the
intersection of Tylersville Road and Lady Anne Drive, where some
trees were downed and minor house damage occurred. From here, the
tornado traveled east across Interstate 75, causing sporadic tree
damage before moving across VOA Park. In the park, an outbuilding
was toppled and several soccer goals were scattered throughout
the grounds. 

The tornado crossed Butler-Warren Road and entered Warren County 
between Tyler Court and Clover Drive. From here, the tornado traveled 
almost due east and affected numerous subdivisions along a narrow 
path through the central part of Mason. The majority of the damage 
in these areas was uprooted trees and broken limbs, along with 
minor roof and siding damage to homes. 

The tornado crossed I-71, near the Kings Mills exit, and caused a 
few trailers to overturn at the Camp Cedar RV Resort. As the tornado 
continued east, it downed numerous trees along Kings Mills Road and 
through the town of Kings Mills. It then crossed the Little Miami River 
and continued to cause sporadic tree and mainly minor house damage 
in a narrow path across the subdivisions on both sides of State 
Route 48. One house to the east of State Route 48 suffered a partial 
wall collapse of its garage. Winds at this location were estimated to
be 85 mph, or high end EF-0.  

The tornado continued east along U.S. Route 22, causing spotty tree and  
house damage before ending just west of the Little Miami Junior High 
School. 

Very sporadic tree damage was noted farther to the east across portions 
of southeast Warren County, but this was believed to have been caused by 
straight line winds. 

The National Weather Service would like to thank the Butler and Warren 
County Emergency Management Agencies for their assistance and 
support with this damage survey.
