Storms Prompt Tornado Warnings In Hancock And Other Counties

The storms that rumbled through Wednesday night prompted a few tornado warnings in the area.

A little after 7 p.m. a tornado warning was issued for southern Hancock County and into Wyandot and Seneca Counties.

Our severe weather partners WTOL-11 reported that radar indicated rotation in a storm near Arlington and that prompted the tornado warning to be issued.

The tornado sirens also went off in Findlay as the storm blew through although Findlay was never under the tornado warning.

As the storms pushed eastward they prompted another tornado warning, this one for Seneca, Wyandot, and Crawford Counties.

WFIN contacted Hancock County Emergency Management after the storm had passed and they hadn’t heard of any actual tornado touchdowns. 

The powerful storms brought down some trees and knocked out power for some people.

A lot where some City of Findlay vehicles are parked on West Crawford Street behind the sheriff’s office sustained some serious damage from those storms that blew through. We’re told there was no other damage of this magnitude in the area and no one was injured when it happened.
