...Summary...
The tornado developed on the west side of the Little Miami River,
near the intersection of Mason Morrow Millgrove Road and Woodward-
Claypool Road, where some minor tree damage occurred. The tornado
quickly strengthened as it moved east across the river, downing a
swath of trees onto the Little Miami Bike Path. As the tornado
moved east, it caused significant tree damage along Woodward-
Claypool Road. Winds here were estimated to be 80 mph, or EF-0.
The tornado then appeared to weaken as it moved up an adjacent
hillside, causing more minor tree damage and some minor
structural damage to a residence before ending.
