072 NOUS41 KILN 112347 PNSILN OHZ073-121200- PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT National Weather Service Wilmington OH 747 PM EDT Thu Jun 11 2020 ...TORNADO CONFIRMED IN ROSS COUNTY, OHIO... Start Location...6 miles northwest of Chillicothe, OH End Location...7 miles north of Chillicothe, OH Date...June 10th 2020 Estimated Time...618 PM EDT Maximum EF-Scale Rating...EF0 Estimated Maximum Wind Speed...75 mph Maximum Path Width...300 yards Path Length...5.9 miles Beginning Lat/Lon...39.3786/-83.0791 Ending Lat/Lon...39.4366/-83.0000 * Fatalities...0 * Injuries...0 ...Summary... A National Weather Service damage survey found evidence of a weak /EF0/ tornado which initially touched down on the south side of Highway 550 where several barns were heavily damaged with roofing material thrown across Highway 550 into adjacent properties about 1/4 mile downstream. From there, a consistent swath of enhanced tree damage was found along a nearly 6 mile continuous path across US Highway 35, County Road 125 (Union Lane), Egypt Pike, State Route 207, and State Route 104. With the enhanced swath of damage not found on the east side of the Scioto River, it is expected that the tornado lifted somewhere in the Scioto flood plain. This tornado may not have been in constant contact with the ground over the entire length of the path, and was also clearly embedded within a much larger /2-3 mile wide/ swath of enhanced straight line damage. Despite this, enough indication of a tornado was seen in the debris with lifted roof panels from a few barns and outbuildings, as well as convergent fall patterns to the large number of trees that were taken down along portions of the path. Damage was consistent with wind speeds up to 75 mph. The National Weather Service would like to thank the Ross County Emergency Management Agency for assistance and support in this survey. EF Scale: The Enhanced Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes into the following categories: EF0...Weak......65 to 85 mph EF1...Weak......86 to 110 mph EF2...Strong....111 to 135 mph EF3...Strong....136 to 165 mph EF4...Violent...166 to 200 mph EF5...Violent...>200 mph * The information in this statement is preliminary and subject to change pending final review of the event and publication in NWS Storm Data. $$ Binau
