The track of this tornado has also been extended southwest into

The tornado began in the Little Miami River valley, within the

was observed. Extensive tree damage occurred along the northern
hillside rising up out of the valley. More sporadic tree damage
was noted along the hillside rising up from the southern side of
the river. Several homes along Mason Morrow Millgrove Road
received structural damage. One home had a total removal of its
second story while an adjacent home had partial removal of its
roof. Winds at this location were estimated to be at 95 mph, or

The tornado continued northeast along the Little Miami River,
with more damage found near the intersection of Mason Morrow
Millgrove Road and Woodward-Claypool Road. Widespread tree damage
was also reported on a large stretch of the Little Miami Bike
Path. The tornado then appeared to weaken as it moved northeast,
causing more minor tree damage and some minor structural damage to
a residence before ending.

The National Weather Service would like to thank Warren County
