Survey Summary:
A National Weather Service Cleveland storm survey team has
determined that an EF-0 tornado with winds of 80 mph occurred in
Southington and Champion Townships in Trumbull County, Ohio on
April 17, 2024. The tornado touched down near State Route
305 east of Hoffman Norton Road. Damage in this location included
significant damage to a garage and some downed trees and roofing
damage, indicative of 80 mph winds. The tornado continued
northeast to Oak Hill Drive, where additional downed trees caused
damage to a couple homes. The tornado continued northeast to
Downs Road NW where more trees prompted more home damage. The
tornado caused more tree damage west of Mahoning Avenue (State
