Ohio, Indiana Tornadoes: Images After Heavy Rain, Severe Storms Hit Richmond, Solon, Trumbull County
The National Weather Service (NWS) has confirmed a tornado touched down in Richmond, Indiana, and is investigating reports of two other tornadoes in Ohio.
In a public information statement, NWS Wilmington in Ohio confirmed that a tornado occurred at the Richmond Mall in Richmond, Wayne County Indiana at 3.29 p.m. ET yesterday. Further information about the damage is expected today.
The team from Wilmington is also surveying storm damage in Union and Fayette Counties, Indiana, and Preble County, Ohio, with further sightings reported during severe thunderstorms that moved through the area on Saturday.
NWS Cleveland tweeted that there had been several possible touchdowns or tracks from Solon in Cuyahoga County to Trumbull County and Warren, Ohio. An earthquake was also reported in Lake Erie, Ohio, with USGS confirming a recording of 1.5 magnitude.
We will be sending out a storm survey team this morning to look at damage likely caused by a #tornado. Appears to be several possible touchdowns/tracks from SE Cuyahoga County to Trumbull County and the Warren #Ohio area.

Social media users took to the platforms to share images and stories of what they saw on Sunday. Amanda Subler tweeted: "We came right up on it (tornado). Saw debris flying through the air and got out of there as fast as we could. May not have actually touched down but was pretty scary!"
Another user, Michael C Thomas, caught footage of the tornado and the debris in Warren, Ohio. He tweeted: "I saw a tornado and felt an earthquake in the same day."

Just saw a slow rotating wall cloud that was south of Pomeroy, OH around 15 minutes ago (far right side of pic). It had slower rotation but fast enough to notice it was rotating. The storm had a lot of frequent lightning as well! #ohwx #wvwx @NWSCharlestonWV pic.twitter.com/8Z7aFIB4ZA

Lots of tree damage, downed power lines and missing shingles, after what appears to be a weak tornado swept through Glenwillow, Ohio around 3:30pm. #OHwx #tornado @NWSCLE @BetsyKling pic.twitter.com/0jBE1axI99
