Exactly what I feared has happened. Hopefully there's a minimal loss of life. I was getting ready to go up there for some saugeye fishing. 😮😟 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) Winchester, IN tornado has been rated preliminary EF-3. I would guess that the flattened Taco Bell is one of the EF-3 locations. Edited March 15 by Hoosier 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowlover2 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Looks like 7 confirmed tornadoes from ILN. Quote Public Information Statement National Weather Service Wilmington OH 935 PM EDT Fri Mar 15 2024 ...UPDATE ON TORNADO CONFIRMATIONS FROM MARCH 14... The National Weather Service in Wilmington OH has completed its first day of storm surveys following the severe weather event on March 14. While there are no immediate plans for additional surveys, National Weather Service staff will continue to assess information provided to us by local and state officials, Emergency Management Agencies, and weather spotters. This process is expected to take several days. Numerous long-track tornadoes have occurred, and our continued analysis will work to determine if some of these long swaths of damage are the result of a single tornado or multiple separate tornadoes. At this time, seven areas of tornadic damage have been identified within the NWS Wilmington OH coverage area. This count may change as we continue to assess the continuity of the damage. * EF1 in Switzerland County IN and Carroll County KY. This tornado began further west in Indiana and additional information will follow after coordination with NWS Louisville KY. * EF1 in western Mercer County OH, west of Celina. * EF1 in eastern Mercer County OH and western Auglaize County OH, west of Wapakoneta. * EF3 beginning in southern Auglaize County OH near Fryburg, continuing through the Lakeview area in northern Logan County OH. * EF2 in central Union County OH near Broadway. * EF1 beginning in central Delaware County OH, continuing through north-central Licking County OH. * EF2 in Darke County OH and Miami County OH. This tornado began in Indiana and additional information will follow after coordination with NWS Indianapolis IN. Final details on these tornadoes, including track statistics and estimated maximum wind speeds, will be released as our analysis continues over the next several days. $$ HATZOS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbusbuckeye Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 (edited) 3 hours ago, Uscg Ast said: Did you take that video? Yes, that was me. I live about 1.5 miles to the west of where those lines all fell. If you watch my video of the tornado, I shot it as it approached just to the west (about a mile) of where it took down those lines. Fortunately, they cleared most of the power lines tonight and opened up several roads that were blocked off today. The power and cleanup crews have done a hell of a job.
