Survey Summary:
The NWS Cleveland survey team, in coordination with the Wayne
County Emergency Management Agency, conducted a storm damage
assessment across northern Wayne County. They confirmed that an
EF-0 tornado touched down along Fox Lake Road between Canaan
Center Road and Route 3. The tornado caused minor damage to
structures and trees, including a tree that was blown onto a
mobile home and visible twisting of tree tops behind the house.
As the tornado moved northeast, another tree was blown onto power
lines east of Route 3, and several large limbs fell onto a car
cover in the same area.

NWS Cleveland sincerely thanks Wayne County EMA for their support
and collaboration during the survey process.
