“It was very minor damage to a home and a barn on two different properties and some crops,” said Suzy Cottingim, Preble County Emergency Management Agency director.
The house had damage to fascia, shingles and a garage door, and on the barn some of the metal roof and some of the siding was torn off. The crops damaged was corn, she said.
The damage was reported near the intersection of U.S. 35 (East Main Street) and Yost/Washington Twin roads, the NWS said.
Some weather sirens blared in Preble County after there were two reports of a funnel cloud between Eaton and West Alexandria.
The NWS at 4:47 p.m. issued a tornado warning that was canceled at 5:07 p.m.
The NWS and Preble County EMA will coordinate to conduct a damage survey to determine the details regarding the magnitude and location of damage. Survey results will be available later Wednesday, the NWS said.
