The National Weather Service in Wilmington, Ohio recently completed a damage survey for a weak EF0 tornado in Union County, Ohio, just west of Marysville.

The tornado was reported on December 29th at 03:08 PM EST.

The weak tornado began on a property near Payne Road just west of Marysville, Ohio. The tornado toppled a small silo, several small- to medium-sized trees, and caused minor damage to an older barn and a few roof shingles.

Additional damage occurred to a large metal barn located around a third of a mile to the north. This barn sustained uplift of the roof along with partial collapse of the metal walls.

In addition, several trees were snapped in the woods adjacent to the barn.

The National Weather Service thanked Union County Emergency Management for their timely coordination of damage assessment results and assistance with the survey.

The information reported is preliminary and subject to change pending final review of the event and publication in NWS Storm Data.
