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.
