Survey Summary:
The National Weather Service in Wilmington Ohio has confirmed an
EF0 tornado southeast of Plain City in Madison County, Ohio. 

This brief tornado began near Plain City Georgesville Road 
Northeast, causing damage to trees and crops. Drone footage 
revealed damage to trees along Big Darby Creek as the tornado 
continued moving southeast. Damage then occurred to outbuildings 
along Amity Pike. Drone and satellite images captured additional 
signs of convergence in nearby fields north of Amity Pike. Based 
on the lack of additional crop damage south of Amity Pike, the 
tornado dissipated quickly. Any damage in the nearby surrounding 
areas was likely caused by straight line winds. 

The National Weather Service would like the thank Madison County 
Emergency Management Agency for their assistance with this survey 
and damage assessment.
