WILMINGTON, Ohio (AP) - The National Weather Service has confirmed that two tornadoes touched down at sparsely populated sites in southwest Ohio over the weekend.
Weather service meteorologists at the Wilmington station observed one tornado with their own eyes Saturday, from their office windows. The twister that touched down two miles south of Wilmington was of the lowest category, and no damage was reported.
Another similar tornado touched down near Bethel, southeast of Cincinnati. No significant damage was found during a survey of the area.
Heavy rain and high winds swept through several counties on Saturday. An apartment complex roof was damaged in Loveland, northeast of Cincinnati, and moviegoers in nearby Milford were asked to gather in the hallways of a multiplex.
