July 2022Tornado (EF2)Goshen2 hurt, $3,000,000The tornado touched down along Blue Sky Drive where several barns were damaged and multiple trees were uprooted and snapped. Additional damage consisting of dozens of snapped and uprooted trees occurred just southeast of the Huntley Road and Goshen Road intersection.||As the tornado approached Goshen, it rapidly strengthened and grew to around 500 yards in width. The tornado crossed Main Street, just to the west of State Route 28, causing significant damage to a couple of businesses. An insurance agency completely lost its roof and several of the exterior walls collapsed. A woman inside the business was transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The large and strong tornado then crossed State Route 28, significantly damaging a fire station and causing complete roof loss to a brick business next door. Most of the exterior walls on|the business also collapsed. A firefighter at the fire station also suffered minor injuries. This was the strongest point in the tornado life cycle with winds estimated around 130 mph.||The tornado continued moving southeast along Goshen Road, snapping hundreds of trees and causing at least six more homes to completely lose their roofs. A couple of additional homes also had some failure of exterior walls. The tornado struck both the middle and high schools causing some roof and siding damage. The tornado continued moving to the southeast crossing Woodville Pike near its intersection with Manila Road. The tornado then crossed Moler Road where it completely destroyed a barn and downed dozens of trees. Based on aerial footage, the tornado likely lifted somewhere between Moler Road and Cedarville Road.
