Survey Summary:

A strong tornado occurred during the overnight hours of June 6th
in a strengthening convective cell as it descended on the west side
of Frazeysburg in a cornfield. The tornado then knocked over a
phone pole before removing the second story of a home on W 3rd Street
and caused one of the load bearing walls to collapse. Two barns
were also totally destroyed at this residence and a soft
wood pine was also uprooted. Continuing east on W 3rd Street
through the middle of the town, two homes had their roofs removed
and a small retail shop had 50% of its roof removed. Further east
along W 3rd Street there were two uprooted hardwood trees pointed in
a northwest direction and also a bit further down the road there
were 2 softwood trees uprooted. Finally, at the edge of town on
the eastern side near the Frazeysburg Elementary School and on
Furnace Street there was an uprooted hardwood tree a few feet in
diameter in between two houses. Next to the school, there were two
snapped trees that did seem to have a bit of rot in the center of
the trees. The school itself sustained damage to the fascia. The
circulation began to weaken and dissipate as it reached the very
end of town and the rest of the debris began to fall out.

NWS Pittsburgh appreciates the assistance provided by the Muskingum
County EMA during this survey. This is the 22nd tornado in the
NWS Pittsburgh forecast area for the 2024 calendar year.
