PORT WILLIAMS, Ohio (AP) - The National Weather Service says
funnel clouds and tornadoes were reported over about one hour in
western Ohio as thunder showers moved through the area.

Meteorologist Myron Padgett says a tornado confirmed in Clinton
County caused minor damage to trees and trailers at around 5:18
p.m. Thursday.

A Weather Service announcement says police reported that the
tornado hit I-71. Mike Jones of the county's Emergency Management
Agency says it appears wind also knocked down some power lines.

Padgett says brief tornado touchdowns also were seen in Greene
County at about 5:25 p.m. and in Clark County at about 6:13 p.m. Sheriff's offices in the two counties reported no damage.
