An NWS storm survey found a downburst occurred in Thompson Park in East Liverpool. Widespread wind damage was found with trees snapped or uprooted, some falling on houses. Maximum wind gusts were estimated at 80-90 MPH. Two minor injuries were reported, one when a tree fell on a car, and another when a vehicle drove into a downed tree.
Local media reported flash flooding on West 8th Street and surrounding streets in East Liverpool with 2 vehicles swamped and a mudslide on State Route 11.
Thunderstorm winds downed numerous trees and power lines. One pickup truck was damaged in the Wellsville area when large tree limbs fell on it and crushed the roof.
Trees and power lines were downed throughout the county. Fifteen miles north of East Liverpool several trees were downed and pea size hail was also reported. Three miles northwest of Georgetown, in the northwest part of the county, some large highway signs were blown down.
