Severe Weather and Tornadoes Severe thunderstorms developed over Indiana during the afternoon on April 8. These storms moved east-southeast through the Cincinnati area during the evening, continuing into south-central Ohio and northeastern Kentucky through just after midnight. The storms evolved into a well-organized bow echo, producing widespread straight line wind damage, and resulting in the confirmation of 19 tornadoes. Supercell thunderstorms also developed ahead of the bow echo, producing hail to golf ball size in parts of southern Ohio.
