Penny to hen egg sized hail was observed for several minutes in Mentor. Much of the hail was golf ball sized or larger. This resulted in many vehicles being damaged.
A weak tornado moved inland from Lake Erie and was on the ground in Mentor for a little less than one mile. Many trees were knocked down with a few homes sustaining minor damage.
A portion of Interstate 90, a main throughway, was closed between State Route 306 and State Route 615 due to flooding. Several disabled semi trucks that stalled in high water.
Thunderstorm winds tore some siding off of a house near the intersection of Center Street and Mentor Avenue in Mentor. Some tree limbs were also down in the area.
