CINCINNATI (AP) — The National Weather service says severe thunderstorms that roared through Ohio this week spawned three tornadoes.
And roughly 70,000 utility customers were still without power Friday due to the storms containing heavy rains, hail, lightning and strong winds that hit the area late Tuesday and continued through early Wednesday.
No injuries were reported, but the storms knocked down trees and utility lines while causing property damage across the state.
Two of the tornadoes occurred late Tuesday, with one touching down near Barberton and the other in southern Lorain and northern Medina counties.
The third tornado touched down early Wednesday in southern Stark County.
