A tornado was reported on the ground along State Rt. 795 in Lake Township before 8:30 p.m. and then near Dunbridge and Reitz roads. There were no reports of injury or property damage. Wood County sheriff’s deputies reported utility poles were down along State Rt. 199 near Lime City Road.

In Ottawa County, where spotters reported a tornado on the ground in the Genoa area about 8:40 p.m., sheriff’s deputies reported no damage or injury.

The National Weather Service received reports of hail throughout the area — from 0.75-inch diameter hailstones near Whitehouse to 1.5-inch diameter hailstones south of Perrysburg.

Funnel clouds, as yet unconfirmed, were reported to the weather service about 8:15 near Maumee and, in Wood County, near Walbridge.

Area residents reported seeing funnel clouds about 4:53 p.m. between the villages of Van Buren in Hancock County and North Baltimore in Wood County, said a Hancock County sheriff’s dispatcher. A funnel cloud was also reported about 5:24 p.m. east of Fostoria, a Fostoria police dispatcher said.
