2. EF186 to 110 mphthis tornado

   Moderate damage. Roofs badly stripped, mobile homes overturned or badly damaged, exterior doors lost, windows broken.

3. EF2111 to 135 mph

   Considerable damage. Roofs torn off well-built houses, frame homes shifted on their foundations, mobile homes destroyed, large trees snapped or uprooted, cars lifted off the ground.

4. EF3136 to 165 mph

   Severe damage. Whole stories of well-built houses destroyed, large buildings badly damaged, trains overturned, trees debarked, heavy cars lifted and thrown.

5. EF4166 to 200 mph

   Devastating damage. Well-built houses leveled, structures with weak foundations moved some distance, cars thrown and large missiles generated.

6. EF5over 200 mph

   Incredible damage. Strong frame houses swept off their foundations, car-sized missiles thrown more than 100 meters, steel-reinforced concrete badly damaged, high-rise buildings deformed.

7. Unrated

   The survey recorded a tornado but could not put a number on it, most often because it crossed open country and damaged nothing a rating can be read from.

A National Weather Service Cleveland storm survey determined that an EF-1 tornado touched down at approximately 4:51 PM EDT on Sunday, June 14, 2026, along Lippert Road, just east of the intersection with Mallory Road in Crawford County.

The tornado tracked east along Lippert Road, causing significant damage to one residence, including roof damage, the loss of an attached porch, damage to four vehicles, displacement of an RV approximately 50 feet, and damage to a garage roof. An additional six homes sustained minor damage, including damage to roofs, siding, and windows.

As the tornado continued east, numerous trees were blown down, blocking driveways and roadways. Several large limbs snapped and fell onto a barn and a nearby home. The tornado gradually weakened and dissipated northwest of the intersection of Lippert Road and Vincent Road.

Based on the observed damage, maximum winds were estimated at 90 mph, resulting in an EF-1 rating. The tornado had an estimated maximum width of 50 yards.

The National Weather Service Cleveland appreciates the assistance provided for this storm survey and thanks Crawford County EMA for their support in documenting the damage.

Written by NWS CLE in the NWS Damage Assessment Toolkit. A survey is revised as better evidence arrives.

15 damage points were recorded along this path by NWS CLE and NWS LIX and NWS PBZ, in the Damage Assessment Toolkit the survey teams carry. The strongest indicator was rated EF1. The highest wind the damage implies is 100 mph.

• Several trees were snapped and fallen on an external garage
• Four large tree uprooted laying down northeast
• Several tree uprooted and fallen in structure.
• Several tree snapped as the tornado tracked east into the tree line.

A line of thunderstorms developed ahead of a cold front Sunday afternoon and moved southeast across Lake Erie into portions of Northwest Pennsylvania. Storms became strong to severe as they moved southeast over the Lake Erie Islands and towards the lakeshore, bringing damaging wind gusts of 60 to 70 mph. Storms continued to intensify as they continued east to southeast into Northwest Pennsylvania, resulting in peak wind gusts in excess of 70 mph at times and hail slightly larger than quarters, particularly near the OH/PA border across Northwest Pennsylvania where a few tornadoes also occurred. At the height of the event, over 150,000 power outages were reported across Ohio and Northwest Pennsylvania.

A National Weather Service Cleveland storm survey determined that a brief EF-1 tornado touched down in central Crawford County at approximately 4:28 PM EDT, south of Dibble Hill Road and east of Theuret Hill Road, and tracked southeast. The tornado snapped several large tree limbs near the point of touchdown before crossing Stoltz Road, where several large trees were uprooted and fell onto a detached garage. A power pole snapped and fell toward the northwest even as the tornado moved southeast. Leaves and hay debris were scattered and pasted across the east side of a barn and nearby structures, indicating rotational winds. Additional trees were snapped and uprooted south of the property and within a tree line to the east. Based on the damage, maximum winds were estimated at 90 mph, yielding an EF-1 rating. The tornado had an estimated maximum width of 75 yards. The National Weather Service Cleveland thanks the Crawford County EMA for its assistance during the storm survey.

A National Weather Service Cleveland storm survey determined that a brief tornado touched down in central Crawford County near Leimbach Road at approximately 4:29 PM EDT. The tornado touched down west of Leimbach Road and north of Double Hill Road, then moved generally east-southeast. Damage consisted primarily of snapped and uprooted trees. Several trees were snapped near the point of touchdown, and a falling tree clipped and damaged a well-constructed detached garage. As the tornado crossed Leimbach Road, several large hardwood trees were uprooted. The fallen trees were oriented toward the northeast, consistent with the localized tornadic wind field despite the tornado's overall east-southeast movement. Based on the observed damage, maximum wind speeds were estimated at 95 mph, yielding an EF-1 tornado rating. The tornado had an estimated maximum width of 50 yards and produced a short, intermittent damage path before dissipating.

From NOAA NCEI's Storm Events Database, the narrative the local forecast office wrote for Storm Data.

26 minutes of warning. NWS CLE issued a tornado warning for this county at 20:25 UTC, 26 minutes before the tornado touched down, in force until 21:15 UTC.

The county was under a severe thunderstorm watch, issued at 17:26 UTC and running to 21:33 UTC.

Every warning and watch covering the touchdown point that day, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service products. Lead time is measured from the issue of the warning in force to the touchdown time in the database, both of which were recorded to the minute by different people.

The Storm Prediction Center had this point in a Slight Risk, with a 0.02 chance of a tornado within 25 miles. The outlook in force was issued at 19:48 UTC.

SPC's Day 1 convective outlook as it stood when the tornado began, read at the touchdown point. The same archive is on the radar archive.

15 more have been surveyed in the United States that day, so far.

Ratings are the survey's, read off the damage rather than measured; the rating scale is above. A survey can be revised, so the rating, the path and the casualties can all still change.
