The episode as NWS PBZ wrote it up.
An F1 tornado touched down along Big Run Road. It travelled to the southeast crossing Ferncliff Road and moved across Edgemoor Road before dissipating. Many trees along the path were toppled or snapped. A mobile home was picked up and pushed westward. It was then rolled over and destroyed. Two people inside the trailer at the time were injured. A double-wide modular home lost its entire roof and was essentially totalled. A two-story frame home was severely damaged, with parts of the roof and walls blown off. As the tornado dissipated, eyewitnesses reported seeing debris in the form or boards, limbs, siding, etc. suddenly start raining from the sky.
The Cleveland radar (KCLE), 140 km away, was scanning. The volume nearest the first event began at 22:42 UTC.
