WhenEvent Place namedHarm What the report says
August 2017Tornado (EF1)Fowler$50,000A funnel cloud formed east of Warren from a thunderstorm moving northeast across Trumbull County. The funnel was observed for many minutes and passed a few miles north of the Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport. A tornado eventually developed and touched down just northwest of the intersection of State Routes 193 and 305 near Fowler. A mobile home near that location was knocked off it's foundation and lost some metal sheeting. The tornado crossed State Route 193 and moved northeast across a wooded area. Over 100 trees were snapped or uprooted in the woods with a clear convergent pattern evident. Most of the trees were hardwood and wind speeds were estimated to be at least 90 mph. The tornado lifted before reaching Sodom Hutchings Road after being on the ground for just over a mile. The damage path was more than 100 yards in width some of time. The damage was intermittent for the first portion of the tornado track.
