SURVEY SUMMARY:
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN WILMINGTON, OHIO HAS CONFIRMED AN
EF1 TORNADO IN SOUTHWEST BUTLER COUNTY, OHIO INTO HAMILTON
COUNTY, OHIO.
ALTHOUGH SPORADIC TREE DAMAGE WAS OBSERVED AT POINTS AROUND THE
CENTER OF THE TORNADIC CIRCULATION, THE TORNADO FIRST CAUSED
DAMAGE IN THE VICINITY OF DUNWOODY ROAD WHERE POWERPOLES WERE
DAMAGED. THE TORNADO THEN TRACKED FURTHER TO THE SOUTHEAST,
RESULTING IN ADDITIONAL SPOTTY DAMAGE BEFORE MORE SIGNIFICANT
DAMAGE WAS OBSERVED IN THE VICINITY OF CHAPEL ROAD. NUMEROUS LARGE
TREES WERE SNAPPED OR UPROOTED ALONG CHAPEL ROAD NEAR THE
INTERSECTION WITH JENKINS ROAD, WITH SOME DAMAGE TO STRUCTURES DUE
TO FALLEN TREES. IT IS WITHIN THIS AREA THAT THE MOST SIGNIFICANT
DAMAGE WAS CONFIRMED, CONSISTENT WITH WINDS OF 90 MPH AND AN EF1
TORNADO.
FURTHER TO THE SOUTHEAST TOWARD ALERT NEW LONDON ROAD NEAR SHANDON,
ADDITIONAL TREE AND MINOR OUTBUILDING DAMAGE WAS CONFIRMED BEFORE
THE TORNADO TRACKED ACROSS THE COUNTY LINE INTO HAMILTON COUNTY.
SPORADIC TREE DAMAGE OCCURRED WITHIN A LARGELY-INACCESSIBLE AREA OF
THE FERNALD PRESERVE, WITH SPOTTY ISOLATED DAMAGE FURTHER TO THE
SOUTHEAST. IT IS POSSIBLE THE TORNADO BRIEFLY LIFTED IN THE VICINITY
OF WILLEY ROAD TOWARD NEW HAVEN ROAD BEFORE MORE SIGNIFICANT TREE
DAMAGE WAS OBSERVED ON EITHER SIDE OF THE GREAT MIAMI RIVER INTO THE
AREA OF THE OAK GLEN PRESERVE. ALTHOUGH SPORADIC TREE DAMAGE WAS
REPORTED SOUTHEAST OF THE OAK GLEN PRESERVE, THE NATURE OF THE
DAMAGE, IN CONJUNCTION WITH RADAR DATA, SUGGEST THE TORNADO HAD
DISSIPATED . ADDITIONAL TREE DAMAGE TOWARD DENT IS BELIEVED TO BE
CAUSED BY STRAIGHT-LINE WINDS.
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WOULD LIKE TO THANK BUTLER COUNTY
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY AND HAMILTON COUNTY EMERGENCY
MANAGEMENT AND HOMELAND SECURITY AGENCY FOR THEIR ASSISTANCE WITH
THIS DAMAGE ASSESSMENT AND SURVEY.
