Location: LNCSTER FRFLD CO ARP
Tornado F-scale: EF0
Property damage: 250.00K

Reported by: NWS Storm Survey

The first sign of tornadic damage was observed along Election House Road NW, where an outbuilding lost several metal panels from the roof. These panels were found embedded within the trees of the neighboring property across the road. Additional tree damage and light structure damage was observed there. The tornado then crossed Rainbow Drive NW, with a clear path of tree damage observed on both sides of the road. Damage of similar intensity was found on the west and east sides of Lancaster Kirkersville Rd NW. The tornado then crossed Coonpath Road NW, between Stringtown Road NW and Lancaster Kirkersville Rd NW. Additional minor structure damage was observed at several properties along Stringtown Road NW, north of Coonpath Road NE. Additional tree damage was observed along the northern portions of the Pleasant Valley Golf Course. Intensity remained weak, but a clear path of damage continued to be found along several properties on Tschopp Rd NE. The tornado then crossed Lancaster Newark Road NE with visible tree damage on both sides of the roadway. The final section of tree damage was located along Old Mill Road NE. No additional damage was observed east of this location so the tornado likely weakened and dissipated before crossing Old Millersport Road NE. Throughout the path, the intensity of the tornado did not appear to change drastically, with similarly observed damage from start to finish and maximum winds estimated to be 80 mph.

Tornado in FAIRFIELD, OHIO
From 05-APR-23 16:39:00 to 05-APR-23 16:41:00 (EST-5)
Location: PLEASANTVILLE
Tornado F-scale: EF0
Property damage: 250.00K
Crop damage: 0.00K
Reported by: NWS Storm Survey

Tree and light structure damage was first observed at a property to the west of Lancaster Thornville Road NE, shortly after entering the town of Pleasantville. Due to the expansive fields southwest of town, this is believed to be the starting point for this brief and weak tornado. The tornado cut a path across South Main Street, through the southern portions of the town. Along South Main Street, lofted metal roof panels were observed scattered in nearby powerlines and trees. Farther to the east, between South Main Street and Lincoln Avenue, numerous trees were either snapped or uprooted. Light structure damage was also observed on Pleasant Court. The tornado entered nearby fields to the east of Lincoln Avenue. The final observed sign of damage was at a property south of Pleasantville Road NW, near the water tower, and this is where the tornado is believed to have dissipated. While this one mile long tornado is considered to be on the weaker side, a path of convergent damage was visible through the southern portions of Pleasantville. The strongest portion of the tornado was likely along South Main Street, with maximum estimated winds of 85 mph.
