|---|---|---|---|---|
| November 2013 | Tornado (EF2) | Lime City | $1,500,000 | An EF0 tornado touched down near Lime City Road just to the north of U.S. Route 20 in Perrysburg. The tornado continued east northeast reaching EF2 intensity as it neared the intersection of State Route 795 and Oregon Road. Two warehouse buildings had walls blown down and lost large sections of roofing. A gas station at the intersection of State Route 795 and Oregon Road was heavily damaged. Several vehicles at the gas station were damaged. Other businesses in the immediate vicinity also sustained roof damage. After causing extensive damage to a couple homes in a residential neighborhood just north of State Route 795, the tornado weakened to EF0 intensity. It then remained on the ground as either an EF0 or EF1 tornado for another four and half miles before moving into Lucas County near Northwood. It damaged several more homes and some apartment buildings before entering Lucas County. Most of this damage was from lost roofing and siding. Dozens of trees were downed along the damage path which was just over seven miles long and up to a 100 yards in width in Wood County. Many vehicles including a couple of recreational vehicles were damaged by the strong winds or flying debris. |
| May 2010 | Hail | Lime City | $25,000 | Golf ball sized hail was observed. A few vehicles were damaged. |
