It moved east-northeast and entered Licking County near the intersection of Dixon and McOwen Roads at 0553EST. The tornado caused a wide swath of tree and structural damage along its path across Graham Road SW and the Jersey area. Structural damage was mainly in the form of windows blown out, destroyed barns, and minor roof removal. The tornado slowly weakened as it moved east-northeast toward the southwest side of Granville where it dissipated. Along this stretch, mainly tree and very minor structural damage was noted. |
