A cold strong front crossed the region during the evening of February 20 into the early morning of February 21. Strong winds just off the surface increased the potential for damaging winds and isolated tornadoes along a line of showers just ahead of the front.

Tornado in MONTGOMERY, OHIO
From 20-FEB-14 22:53:00 to 20-FEB-14 22:55:00 (EST-5)
Location: PHILLIPSBURG
Tornado F-scale: EF0
Property damage: 150.00K
Crop damage: 0.00K
Reported by: NWS Storm Survey

The tornado touched down one tenth of a mile southeast of the intersection of Sweet Potato Ridge Road and Brookville Phillipsburg Road. The garage door of a residence there was blown in, leading to the removal of the roof and two walls of the garage. The roof was uplifted, flipped, and dropped in the yard immediately to the east. Several trees were also snapped in the yard immediately east of the garage. One of these trees was approximately 18 inches in diameter. The next damage location was approximately two tenths of a mile east of the intersection of Sweet Potato Ridge Road and Brookville Phillipsburg Road. A roof was partially removed from a residence on the south side of Sweet Potato Ridge Road, and blown slightly to the left of the direction of storm motion into a residence on the north side of the road. A combination of the debris and winds blew in two windows on a residence on the north side of Sweet Potato Ridge Road. Yard furniture was also lifted and carried over a tenth of a mile to the north-northeast. The tornado then removed a large portion of a barn roof on the west side of Pansing Road and carried it to the northwest, perpendicular to the direction of storm motion. Other roof debris was lifted and carried across to the east side of Pansing Road. The final damage that was observed before the tornado lifted was on Phillipsburg Union Road approximately one half mile east of the intersection with Pansing Road. This was another instance where debris from a barn was carried a short distance to the northwest of the storm motion. This debris included a portion of the roof and wood siding. Several pine trees about 8 inches in diameter were also snapped, uplifted, and dropped pointing into the direction of the storm motion. All of the damage along the path exhibited convergent motion, along with the noted distances of debris being deposited to the northwest of the original source structures. The maximum estimated wind speed based on the damage surveyed was 85 miles per hour.
