News: Tornadoes reported in western Ohio

PORT WILLIAMS, Ohio -- The National Weather Service says funnel clouds and tornadoes were reported over about one hour in western Ohio as thunder showers moved through the area.

Meteorologist Myron Padgett says a tornado confirmed in Clinton County caused minor damage to trees and trailers at around 5:18 p.m. Thursday.

A Weather Service announcement says police reported that the tornado hit I-71. Mike Jones of the county's Emergency Management Agency says it appears wind also knocked down some power lines.

Padgett says brief tornado touchdowns also were seen in Greene County at about 5:25 p.m. and in Clark County at about 6:13 p.m. Sheriff's offices in the two counties reported no damage.
