When	Event	Place named	Harm	What the report says
June 2010	Tornado (EF1)	West Andover	$500,000	An EF1 tornado touched down in eastern Ashtabula County. The initial touchdown occurred southwest of Andover near the intersection of Mann and Creek Roads. The tornado then traveled east northeast for approximately four and a half miles before lifting near the intersection of Pymatuning Lake Road and State Route 85. The tornado moved across the south side of Andover and then crossed Main Street just east of town. Significant tree damage was observed southwest of Andover. A barn in the area was heavily damaged. A warehouse on the southeast side of Andover was damaged and many trees in the area toppled. Several homes in the town sustained damage, mainly from lost roofing or siding. Many cars were also damaged from flying debris or downed limbs. Dozens of downed trees were also reported along the remainder of the damage path. Several boats were tossed into Pymatuning Reservoir just as the tornado lifted. The tornado may not have been in continuous contact with the ground the entire length of the damage path. The damage path was no more than 100 yards in width.
