A weakening complex of showers and thunderstorms moved southeast out of Michigan during the morning of August 7th.  The airmass over northern Ohio was moderately unstable with dewpoints in the mid 60s ahead of this feature.  Thunderstorms developed out ahead of this complex as outflow boundaries pushed eastward.  One of the thunderstorms produced a brief tornado in Orrville in Wayne County.  An EF1 tornado was on the ground for approximately 1 mile and caused damage to a house. Several other thunderstorms produced quarter size hail.
