(Wilmington) — The National Weather Service, with assistance and support from the Pickaway County Ohio Emergency Management Agency, Pickaway County Sheriff’s Office and Pic-A-Fay Fire Department confirms a brief and weak tornado touched down near New Holland during the afternoon of Thursday, July 29, 2021.
Based on aerial footage and photos, the tornado appears to have initially touched down in a field just northwest of Dick Road, crossing Dick Road and producing damage on a farm. Some roof damage was noted on the single story residence on Dick Road, while a large outbuilding was destroyed.
Aerial footage confirmed evidence of the tornado in the grass and field between Dick Road and Mouser Road. Debris from the outbuilding was also scattered throughout the field between Dick Road and Mouser Road. Additional damage occurred on a property on Mouser Road where two barns were completely destroyed.
The tornado is believed to have lifted shortly after destroying the barns on Mouser Road. While the tornado lifted before reaching US Route 22, debris from the destroyed Mouser Road barns was thrown about one quarter mile and was noted on the other side of US 22.
Based on an evaluation of the damage, winds associated with this brief tornado were around 85 mph. Additional storm damage within the village of New Holland was a result of straight-line winds.
