Rating: EF0 Estimated Peak Wind: 85 mph Path Length /statute/: 1.14 miles Path Width /maximum/: 50 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 09/09/2026 Start Time: 09:34 PM EDT Start Location: 3 ENE New Concord / Guernsey County / OH Start Lat/Lon: 40.0057 / -81.6705 End Date: 09/09/2026 End Time: 09:37 PM EDT End Location: 3 WSW Cambridge / Guernsey County / OH End Lat/Lon: 40.0041 / -81.6492 Survey Summary: A linear convective storm complex moved into Muskingum and Guernsey Counties at 9:00pm on the night of September 9th, 2026. A portion of this line bowed, and on the northern fringe of this segment, a embedded mesocyclone developed overhead with broad rotation which extended to the surface. A tornado touchdown was estimated from radar to be 9:34pm, immediately knocking down a tree and impacting a couple buildings at the intersection of Mayfair Lane and US-22. This was where winds were the strongest, up to 85mph. The most destruction was observed near a small business, where wind entered the building through the roof and blew out a backdoor, as well as knocking an old steeple off of the roof. This wind also may have briefly lifted a trailer and displaced it roughly 10 ft away. Some of the debris from the blow-out impacted a neighboring property`s fence and front yard. The adjacent property also observed damage to siding and gutters. A small sign was knocked down across US-22 where the tornado is estimated to have weakened as it moved into a swampy area along Crooked Creek. Minor tree damage was observed along I-70. A couple trees were down along Savage Road before the circulation is expected to have lifted at 9:37pm. Minor tree damage was observed downstream, but damage was more consistent with straight line winds as the bowing convective segment continued it`s track into Byesville. && EF Scale: The Enhanced Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes into the following categories: EF0.....65 to 85 mph EF1.....86 to 110 mph EF2.....111 to 135 mph EF3.....136 to 165 mph EF4.....166 to 200 mph EF5.....>200 mph NOTE: The information in this statement is preliminary and subject to change pending final review of the event and publication in NWS Storm Data. $$ Milcarek
