The National Weather Service is surveying damage across Ohio on Thursday following severe weather on Wednesday. These survey teams are looking at the storm damage to determine if a tornado caused it and, if so, how strong of a tornado it was when it occurred, etc.

The tornado had estimated wind speeds of 110 mph and was on the ground for nearly 4 miles with a path width of 65 yards. It started WSW of Windam at 6:45 pm and ended NNE of Windham at 6:51 p.m.
The tornado began near the intersection of State Route 303 and Stanley Road. The tornado produced wind damage of EF-0 to low-end EF-1 intensity as it downed trees and damaged the roofs of several buildings.
