opens the federal record of that event.
A tornado touched down just southwest of the Mahoning River between Gibson and Poland Avenues on the northeast side of Youngstown. The tornado then skipped northeast for approximately eight miles before dissipating on the eastern edge of the city just south of the Trumbull County border. The damage path was 50 to 100 yards in width and was intermittent in nature. Ten businesses and around 80 homes were damaged by the tornado. One business was destroyed, and of the 80 homes, 60 had major damage. Two railroad cars were overturned and hundreds of trees were toppled along the damage path.
Thunderstorm winds caused some damage in the City of Youngstown. Four tents were toppled at a festival in the downtown area resulting in a few minor injuries. A church on Oakhill Avenue lost a large section of roofing. Many trees and large trees limbs were downed across the city as well.
Thunderstorm winds downed many trees. A building at Youngstown State University suffered damage when a 70 foot by 90 foot section of roof was peeled off. Awnings on two houses were also blown off.
Numerous reports of hail ranging from penny to quarter size were observed by trained spotters between Youngstown and Boardman. A trained spotter also estimated wind gusts around 65 mph in Boardman at 14:30 EST.

Named in the fire insurance atlases
Sanborn surveyors printed an index of the
town's establishments at the front of each atlas. This property is named in
one, read straight off the scanned sheet.
When this property was proposed for the
National Register, someone wrote the case for it: what the building is,
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
typewriter's.
