HARDIN COUNTY, Ohio - An EF1 tornado damaged a barn, two homes, a business and several outbuildings in Hardin County early Saturday, according to the National Weather Service.
The most extensive damage happened near State Route 235 and State Route 309, about two to three miles south of the Village of Ada.
The NWS said the storm started at 3:06 a.m. and ended around 3:10 a.m., covering a path of 1.6 miles.
The NWS said the storm had an estimated maximum wind speed of 110 miles per hour and its maximum width was 260 yards.
Video of the damage shows damage to Tommy Tire Sales and a nearby home.
The storm started southwest of the intersection, where part of the roof was lifted off a barn and multiple trees were snapped.
The tornado then strengthened and moved northeast, damaging the business and the home on either side of SR-309.
Two outbuildings were destroyed at the business and part of the roof to another building was lifted off. A tractor-trailer was also overturned.
The storm blew the roof off the home and several windows were broken, likely by debris.
Two more outbuildings were also destroyed at the home. The NWS said debris from the home and outbuildings was blown at least 0.7 miles into the field.
The NWS also noted the tornado was likely still on the ground northeast of the intersection and showed signs of weakening as it crossed Township Road 55. Shingles were still blown off of a home on that road while more outbuildings and trees were damaged.
The tornado damage appears to have ended on Township Road 64, where the NWS saw minor roof damage.
Hardin County Sheriff Keith Everhart told 10TV no one was hurt in the storm.
NWS meteorologists said a final assessment of the damage and storm is expected later Saturday evening.
