Survey Summary:
The National Weather Service has confirmed an EF0 tornado east of
New Lebanon in Montgomery County, Ohio.

The tornado first developed near Stacey Road, moving to the 
north. Corn field damage was evident on satellite imagery, 
beginning just south of Stacey Road. Additional corn field 
damage, with some tree damage, was observed near Germantown 
Liberty Road, south of Forney Road. The tornado then moved due 
north, on a track that closely approximated Snyder Road until 
reaching US Route 35. Along this stretch of Snyder Road, there was
extensive tree damage, including a few large trees uprooted or 
broken near the base. One barn on the east side of Snyder Road 
lost a portion of its roof.

North of US Route 35, some shingle damage occurred at a business,
with a few garage doors damaged at a storage facility. Some 
additional tree damage was noted to the north of these businesses.
Satellite imagery depicted additional corn field damage as the 
tornado progressed to the north, dissipating just east of Snyder 
Road near Old Dayton Road.

The National Weather Service would like to thank the Montgomery 
County Emergency Management Agency for their coordination.
