| 20:08Z | EF1 | KIND | IN | Rush | Arlington | NWS survey confirmed EF1 tornado tracked from 4.75 miles east-southeast of Morristown to 3.4 miles north of Rushville. Tornado first caused damage around the intersection of County Roads West 200 North and North 900 West. Four homes sustained damage that consisted primarily of roof and siding taken off homes. South facing front porch roof taken off western most house. Clear convergent pattern was observed in this area with several large tree limbs down and a few smaller trees topped or uprooted. Sheet metal was thrown nearly a quarter mile east. A storage shed was lifted and moved 40 feet off of its foundation. Siding and roof loss occurred at 3 other homes at this location. The Tornado likely lifted briefly over a large field but then hit the Posey Township Volunteer Fire Department station on US Highway 52 where the south side of the roof was torn off and debris lofted several hundred yards to the northeast. Trees to the west of this building were broken off near their tops. The tornado then continued skipping to the east per law enforcement observations and witnesses. Minor damage was observed at a school on the north side of Arlington with soffit/awning damage on west side of building. That metal was deposited to the north while small trees and limbs along a north side fence line were laid down to the south. From this point on to ending point, witnesses reported the tornado lifting and dropping across fields with only sporadic tree damage. Law enforcement reported the tornado lifted for final time along County Road 300 North, just east of Indiana Route 3 and West of County Road 150 West. |
| 21:42Z | EF1 | KILN | OH | Darke | Gordon | The tornado touched down in open farm fields to the west of Schnorf-Jones Road and immediately intensified and hit a farm, heavily damaging barns and outbuildings. The tornado continued east and crossed Red River-West Grove Road, where another farm was struck. At this location, a house received roof damage and several barns were damaged. The tornado lifted in a field east of Highway 49. Several people witnessed the tornado on the ground in this area, including video footage of debris being lifted from the ground.||Damage at the first farmstead was consistent with wind speeds of around 100 mph, or EF-1 damage. The second farmstead sustained damage consistent with wind speeds of around 75 mph. |
| 21:53Z | EF2 | KILN | OH | Miami | West Milton | The tornado touched down west of West Milton in open farmland and was only loosely in contact with the ground as it traveled east through West Milton. Only minor tree damage was seen for the first few miles of the track, with the vast majority of the tree damage being broken limbs and a few uprooted trees.||As the tornado moved through the Nashville area and toward Tipp City, it began to strengthen and caused EF-1 category wind damage to trees, power poles, and residences along West Kessler Cowlesville Road, especially near its intersection with Peters Road.||As the tornado approached Interstate 75, it strengthened further and directly hit several large industrial warehouse buildings on both the east side and west sides of the Interstate. On the west side of the Interstate, a large warehouse suffered considerable roof damage and a complete collapse of an exterior wall. Several empty semi trailers were overturned or rolled. In this area, damage was consistent with wind speeds of around 120 mph, or EF-2 damage. ||The tornado continued across the Great Miami River into rural farmland where the intensity quickly decreased and damage to trees and outbuildings was consistent with EF-0 or low-end EF-1 damage. The tornado then lifted south-southeast of Casstown. |
| 22:13Z | EF0 | KIND | IN | Madison | Summitville | NWS Survey confirmed an EF0 skipping tornado tracked 0.57 miles through the town of Summitville. The initial touchdown was west of the waste water treatment plant in a grove of trees. At the plant, a poorly secured roof was partially lifted and pieces strewn downwind in a convergent pattern. A 2x4 was planted into the ground from the southeast which was opposite of the general damage direction. The tornado then skipped through town causing tree and roof damage before causing more significant damage along Mill Street. There, several large tree limbs damaged a car and home with insulation splattered across 3 of the 4 sides of the home. Small amounts of mud splatter was also noted through town. Damage then briefly lessened near the school before 2 large and unhealthy oak trees were snapped. The tornado lifted afterwards with no additional damage. |
| 22:23Z | EF1 | KILN | OH | Clark | North Hampton | Initial EF-0 damage consisting of snapped tree limbs and minor outbuilding damage began along Liberty Road in western Clark County. Intermittent tree and outbuilding damage then continued east, eventually crossing Shrine Road near its intersection with Ebersole Road. A barn was also damaged at this location.||Continuing east, the tornado strengthened to EF-1 intensity and widened to nearly 200 yards as it moved through neighborhoods along Ballentine Pike, Delrey Road and Fox Hollow Road. Hundreds of trees were snapped or uprooted along this section of the path and several homes suffered damage due to partial uplift. The tornado remained EF-1 intensity as it crossed St. Paris Pike, eventually crossing directly through the Springfield Country Club where dozens of trees were uprooted.||The tornado continued east through the Edgewood Farms neighborhood and produced tree and minor outbuilding damage. Damage continued into the southern end of Buck Creek State Park. The main entrance to the park was closed due to several large trees uprooted along the main drive. The tornado crossed the southern end of the reservoir and then produced tree damage along Grant Road.||Continuing east, the tornado caused minor damage to a residence and barn on Mahar Road near its intersection with Yeazall Road. Additional tree damage could be seen across a field east of Mahar Road but no additional damage was noted east of there. |
| 22:42Z | EF0 | KILN | OH | Champaign | Lippincotts | Initial EF-0 damage began on West Herr Road near North US Highway 68. Several large tree branches measuring between 3-8 inches were snapped. The adjacent home toward the east had four large hardwood trees downed, several of which were snapped at the trunk. Additionally, this home and unattached garage had siding ripped off. Continuing 1.7 miles northeast, the property at the intersection of Kennard-Kingscreek Road and Game Farm Road received EF-0 damage. At this location, numerous hardwood trees were snapped at the trunk, a metal garage door was bent, a barn door track was ripped from the barn, and a shed was rolled onto its side.||The tornado continued eastward and broke additional tree limbs along Kennard-Kingscreek Road. Farther down the road, a barn was completely destroyed with the roof caving in and one of the supporting walls thrown 15 yards to the north. Next door to this location, several large hardwood trees were uprooted. Farther northeast, down Kennard-Kingscreek Road, a front porch was completely separated from the home and had large 20 foot pieces of structure thrown as far as 50 to 70 yards away. The damage path continued past North Ludlow Road, down South Kennard Road, where metal roofing was lifted off of a barn. More damage was found along a tree line off of Dog Leg Road, where numerous tree branches were snapped and trees were uprooted. The last known damage from the tornado occurred along State Route 296, where several trees were downed. |
| 23:07Z | EF0 | KILN | OH | Brown | Sardinia | Widespread minor tree damage was observed throughout Sardinia and in surrounding areas. Much of this is believed to have been caused by straight line winds of around 60 to 70 mph.||However, a more concentrated corridor of damage was also observed, and this damage was caused by a tornado. The first tornadic damage was observed near the intersection of Hope Lane and Purdy Road, where tree damage extended into a neighborhood south of Charles Street. The most significant tree damage was observed on Oakdale Avenue. A stand of softwood trees was heavily damaged with numerous trees snapped off. Further east, behind some houses, several large hardwood trees were uprooted. These trees were found to be laying in different directions.||Additional tree damage was also observed on a consistent path to the east that crossed State Route 32, Siteman Road, and Katterman Road. No additional damage was found east of Katterman Road. Based on the tree damage found on Oakdale Avenue, the strongest winds in this tornado were estimated to be 75 mph. |
| 23:16Z | EF2 | KILN | OH | Hocking | Haynes | The first damage observed from this tornado was near the main entrance to Tar Hollow State Park along State Route 327. A few trees were downed and there was evidence of a few snapped trees up the hillside to the west. More significant damage was observed on East Fork Road, where a wide swath of trees were both uprooted and snapped. These trees were of several varieties, including hardwood and softwood.||The most significant damage was observed along Narrows Road. The hills to the east of Narrows Road exhibited near-total decimation of the tree canopy, including some spots where virtually every tree was snapped or uprooted. This swath of damage was about four tenths of a mile wide. Along Narrows Road, tree damage was severe enough that work crews continued to clear the area two days after the storm. East of Narrows Road at 1825EST, 4.1 miles south southwest of South Bloomingville, the tornado continued into Vinton County (see Storm Data for Ohio, Southeast). |
| 23:25Z | EF1 | KILN | OH | Vinton | Eagle Mills | A tornado continued from Hocking County into Vinton County. The tornado uprooted and snapped numerous hardwood trees across northern Vinton County from Macedonia Road eastward to Goosecreek Road. The tornado lifted between Goosecreek Road and Locust Grove Road. |
| 23:45Z | EF1 | KRLX | OH | Vinton | Hope | A swath of trees with signs of convergence/rotation occurred on the northwest side of the ridge between Lake Hope and the Lake Hope State Park Lodge and Cabins. Multiple large healthy trees, including Oak and Hickory, were snapped and uprooted. A tree on the outer edge of the damage path fell onto a cabin causing minor damage. |
| 23:52Z | EF0 | KRLX | OH | Vinton | Hope | A group of trees were uprooted with some smaller trees snapped near a campsite and backpacking trail in the Zaleski State Forest. The trees showed signs of convergence. Due to dense forest and limitation of ground survey, it is unknown how far the damage path actually went into the forest. However, additional tree damage found in a logged area farther east on King Hollow Road was likely the eastward extent of the path. |
| 00:42Z | EF0 | KLWX | MD | St. Mary's | Forest Hall | A severe thunderstorm spawned a brief tornado between 8:42 and 8:47 PM EDT Wednesday evening, June 8th, 2022, near Mechanicsville in Saint Mary's County, Maryland. The origin of this severe thunderstorm was the result of a cell merger of two separate thunderstorms that approached Saint Mary's County: one crossing eastward over the Potomac River from near Quantico in Virginia moving toward Charles County, Maryland; and the other one crossing northeast over the Potomac River near Colonial Beach. The cells merged over Charles County between La Plata and Dentsville, then proceeded due east toward northern Saint Mary's County where the tornado occurred.||The severe thunderstorm damaged over two dozen trees and large branches in an approximately three mile radius of the intersection of MD-5 Point Lookout Road and MD-235 Three Notch Road. Most of this damage was sporadic and isolated in areal extent, but included tree trunk snapps and uproots, with estimated wind speeds between 60 and 70 MPH based on the observed tree damage. However, there were two areas of more concentrated damage that helped lead to the determination of a tornado in this area of southern Maryland.||The tornado initially touched down around an enclave of residential houses 200 yards southwest of the intersection of MD-5 and MD-235. Here, there was a mix of about a dozen uprooted and trunk snaps of both hardwood and softwood trees. One of the trees fell onto the roof of a residence, causing roof damage; fortunately, there were no injuries despite a resident being inside the home when it fell. The trees fell to the north, east, southeast, east, west, and northwest. Due to the localized but prolific damage in this enclave, wind estimates are up to 85 MPH. It is believed that the tornado went right over this enclave of residences due to the random direction of tree falls.||The tornado may have lifted as it moved to the east-northeast. However, tornadic damage was noted about 3 miles further east along Delabrooke Road, where a chaotic mix of downed trees and branches were observed on both sides of the 40900 block in a deeply forested area. Residents in this area received the mobile phone alert before the damage occurred, and also reported half dollar size hail.||Finally, a certified NWS SKYWARN Spotter filmed a video from MD-235, showing an earthward extension of the cloud base. Rotation was noted within this lowering. |
| 08:59Z | EF1 | KDIX | NJ | Camden | Grenloch | The tornado touched down near Erial Road just on the other side |of the Marksmen Landscaping company. The tornado traveled |northeast towards the Deer Park Subdivision where several large |limbs were snapped off of both softwood and hardwood trees, with |at least 3 trees uprooted. In particular, damage began on the|southwest side of Deer Park Circle where several tree limbs were |noted snapped off of hardwood trees just on the other side of the |property line. The tornado then moved northeast, almost parallel |to Deer Park Circle where a hardwood tree was uprooted and fell |on the fence line. Multiple large tree limbs were then snapped at |multiple properties up towards the northeast extent of Deer Park |Circle. Debris was also noted on either side of the road in both |directions. One home had soffit removed from the side facing |northeast. At a single family residence at the end of Deer Park |Circle, two large soft wood trees were uprooted with one tree |having to be removed off of a single family residence. ||The tornado then continued northeast towards high tension |powerlines were it began to quickly dissipate. Several branches |were noted just on the other side of the power lines with PSE&G |Utility trucks removing debris from the clearing. The survey team |then looked on Hidden Drive for any more damage, but only debris |made up of large sticks and leaves was noted. No additional damage|was noted on Hidden Dr or any areas north and east of Hidden Drive |Given that several large trees were uprooted, the estimated peak |wind speed was set at 90 MPH, with the tornado being rated at an |EF-1. |
