opens the federal record of that event.
A microburst with winds estimated at around 80 MPH produced damage across the Lisbon area. The microburst produced a path of sporadic wind damage about 1.5 miles in length. The width varied from about 100 feet near the start of the track to nearly 100 yards at the end. The path of the microburst was directed west to east across Ohio SR 30/45 approximately 3.5 miles southeast of Lisbon. One house sustained some structural damage near the roof and second story balcony. A mobile home was lifted from its foundation and several smaller sheds and out-buildings on the property were also damaged or destroyed. In addition, numerous trees and power lines were downed by the microburst winds.
A brief tornado (F0) touched down briefly near the intersection of Routes 45 and 517 on the northwest side of Lisbon. The tornado was approximated 15 yards wide and was on the ground for about a tenth of a mile. The only associated damage was a few downed trees and three pieces of aluminum siding ripped from the side of a nearby home.

and why it matters. That document is a federal record in the public domain.
It is quoted below word for word, never summarised. The text was read off the scanned case file by machine, so the
occasional stray character is the recogniser's and the 1970s
