Patch explores the last time a tornado touched down in Lorain County after severe weather warnings on Wednesday
While the severe weather in the Avon-Avon Lake area on Wednesday may not have been as bad as it was elsewhere, four tornadoes touched down in Ohio in Ashtabula, Huron, Sandusky, and Tuscarawas counties. As I waited the rain out, I wondered when the last time a tornado touched down in Lorain County.
According to the Tornado History Project, 24 tornadoes have touched down in Lorain County since 1956, causing a total of 213 injuries and 18 fatalities.
The most recent tornado was an F-0 in Elyria in 2007 and caused no injuries or fatalities.
