The National Weather Service has confirmed a tornado touched down in Huron County late Tuesday afternoon as storms made their way through Northeast Ohio.

On Thursday, the path length has been increased from 1.5 miles to 3.1 miles after another storm survey.

The twister is said to have been an EF1, with winds peaking at 100 miles per hour. It began around 5:20 p.m. just south of Norwalk near U.S. Route 20.

Officials say no one was hurt, although multiple large trees did suffer damage. Much of the region was under a severe thunderstorm warning for points yesterday, but this is the first report of a tornado.
