Survey Summary:
The National Weather Service has confirmed a tornado just north
of Anna, Ohio, on the morning of March 11, 2026.
This tornado overturned an RV and damaged siding on a pair of
properties on Wells Road west of County Road 25A, then downed a
pair of trees near County Road 25A. It appears the tornado then
proceeded to cross Interstate 75, where two semi trailers were
blown over. Further east, the circulation crossed Highland Kies
Road where a tree was blown down, a shed was destroyed, and
shingles were blown off a residence and garage. Then, after
crossing a field, the tornado destroyed a large outbuilding on
Sidney Freyburg Rd south of Amsterdam Road. Debris from this
outbuilding was scattered broadly around the property and also
into the field east of Sidney Freyburg Road before the tornado
ended. The tornado is being rated an EF0 with a maximum estimated
wind speed of 80 MPH.
The National Weather Service would like to thank the Shelby
County Emergency Management Agency, for their coordination and
assistance.
