Every Sanborn volume opens with a printed index
naming the town's mills, tanneries, hotels and works by proprietor. Those
indexes were read off the scanned sheets by machine and then matched to each
other, so a business surveyed four times appears here once, with the years it
survived. 0 of these 19 were named in more than one atlas. Each carries a
crop of the line it was read from: the spelling is the recogniser's and the
1880s lithographer's, and the scan behind it is the proof.

The most serious of them, by death, then
injury, then recorded damage. The accounts are quoted exactly as the
forecast office filed them.
The tornado briefly touched down on a residential property, partially removing the roof of a manufactured home. A few outbuildings were also damaged and a large shipping container was blown from its location. A child sustained minor injuries due to flying glass. A few large trees were also downed.
Heavy rainfall for most of the afternoon hours caused widespread flooding across the county. Thirty six roads were closed across the county. Several culverts were washed away across the county. Three people were rescued from high water on Buckskin Creek.
The tornado initially caused damage to trees east of South Salem Cemetery and within Sunset Park. The highest intensity occurred shortly after touch down with two structures destroyed along Stewart Street. One structure, which was bolted to a concrete foundation, was lofted onto Stewart Street. The other structure had nearly all of the exterior walls collapsed. The roof was lofted and pieces were found littered along the tornado track through the town. Snapped power poles also occurred along Stewart Street. The tornado then moved southeast over Main Street with significant tree and minor structure damage observed. The tornado continued to cause tree damage and minor structure damage along Lower Twin Road before exiting South Salem to the east. The final tree damage observed was along a creek south of Lower Twin Road, where multiple trees were snapped and uprooted.
A storm survey concluded that a microburst occurred in the area and damaged or destroyed numerous grain bins, outbuildings, power poles, and trees. A house also lost part of a roof.
Widespread tree and powerline damage was reported from Chillicothe to about 6 miles southeast of Chillicothe. Several buildings also had shingles blown off and a semi was blown over on U.S. 35.
The tornado appears to have touched down near Vollmar Road. Numerous trees were knocked down in a field between Vollmar Road and Albright Mill Road and additional hardwood trees and limbs were blown down at two residences along Albright Mill Road. The roof of one of the residences also sustained damage, where part of the roof was lifted off and blown across the road. A back porch was also destroyed. Damage in this area was estimated be near 85 mph, which corresponds to a high end EF0 tornado.||Additional tree damage occurred to the east of Albright Mill Road, primarily on Egypt Pike and Cattail Road. The tornado is believed to have ended on or just east of Cattail Road as no additional damage was observed east of Cattail Road.
A silo at the Valley Grain Facility sustained significant damage as a result of a possible microburst. Part of the silo was blown down, causing additional structural damage to several other buildings in the complex.
Several homes were volunatrily evacuated along Paint Creek from Bainbridge to Bourneville due to rising water. Three automobiles were trapped in flood waters, requiring a water rescue from one of the vehicles near Chillicothe.
The tornado initially touched down near a grocery store near State Route 772 and Valley Road in Summithill where several trees were knocked down and uprooted. There were several intermittent touch downs between Summithill and Denver. To the southeast of Summithill, along Schaffer Road, approximately six homes and two mobile homes were damaged and numerous trees were snapped and uprooted. An eye-witness on Schaffer Road reported a rope tornado which had several brief touch downs. Further southeast in the Denver area, a home received substantial damage with a loss of the roof and some walls down. Portions of the roof were thrown 700 yards and wrapped around trees. There was also widespread crop damage in the area. Two barns off of Denver Road were completely destroyed and uprooted trees were observed intermittently along this path.
The tornado initially touched down on the south side of County Road 550 (Pleasant Valley Rd) where several barns were heavily damaged with roofing material thrown across the road and into adjacent properties about 1/4 mile downstream. From there, a consistent swath of enhanced tree damage was found along a nearly six mile continuous path across U.S. 35, County Road 125 (Union Lane), Egypt Pike, OH-207, and OH-104. A home and some outbuildings were damaged as the tornado crossed OH-207. With the enhanced swath of damage not found on the east side of the Scioto River, it is expected that the tornado lifted somewhere in the Scioto River flood plain.
Numerous trees and power lines knocked down across the county. Winds were estimated at 70 mph in Kinnickinnick and damage occurred to an apartment building in Bainbridge.
A second tornado formed from a mini-supercell which tracked across much of northern Ross county. Much of the county is open fields so very little structural damage occurred. However, a barn roof was ripped off and power lines were downed near Kingston.
This short-lived tornado is believed to have touched down just to the southwest of Adena Middle/High School, west of County Road 550. Several trees were uprooted along a tree line approximately 750 yards to the west of County Road 550, with additional minor tree damage closer to the road near a commercial property.||On the east side of County Road 550, several other trees were uprooted or snapped along the southern portion of Climer Lane, closest to the school grounds. A video near this location appeared to show a short-lived tornadic circulation moving approximately southwest to northeast between Climer Lane and the school grounds. Tree damage was a bit more extensive toward the southern parts of the properties on Climer Lane toward the athletic fields. Here, a concession stand suffered minor roof damage and a chain-linked fence was damaged as well.||The tornado is believed to have tracked a bit further to the northeast, damaging a barn/outbuilding structure near the cul-de-sac of Climer Lane before dissipating.
A barn was blown down on equipment that was housed inside of it. A grain bin was blown off of its foundation at the same location. A garage was destroyed, as well as siding and roofing being peeled off of a residence.
Several trees and powerlines were downed throughout the county. 5500 residents were without power. In Union Springs, fires were sparked by lightning strikes.
Scattered trees were snapped off in the Clayburne Heights Neighborhood. One empty truck trailer was tipped over in a parking lot adjacent to State Route 159 due to thunderstorm winds.
A mobile home being towed on a flatbed truck on US Route 50 was destroyed. One home had its roof blown off, and trees were downed throughout town.

History of Lower Scioto Valley, Ohio, Together with Sketches of Its Cities, Villages and Townships, Educational, Religious, Civil, Military, and Political History, Portraits of Prominent Persons, and Biographies of Representative Citizens devotes a chapter to each township:
its boundaries and streams, who settled it and when, the mills, the
schools and the churches. All 1 are reproduced here in full. Each row
shows the township's own shape and where it lies in the county, drawn from
the Census Bureau's boundary. Which settlements belong to which township
is computed from that same boundary, not taken from the book.
Named settlements recorded in the Geographic Names
Information System, each with the topographic sheets covering it. Villages,
