Tornado Confirmed Near Ohio-Indiana Line

The National Weather Service says a weak tornado touched down in western Ohio near the Ohio-Indiana state line.

The tornado in Van Wert County ripped the roof off a house, flattened a barn and flipped over a tractor-trailer and a camper near the village of Convoy.

Rick McCoy, the county's emergency management director, says no one was injured in the storm Tuesday. He says the tornado was on the ground for about 2.5 miles.

Authorities in three other counties in northwest Ohio are assessing the damage from high winds and are trying to determine whether tornadoes were to blame.

At least three houses in the village of Cridersville just south of Lima, sustained heavy damage. Authorities say no one was injured.
