TORNADO HITS OHIO.

Context - explained by ACL:

Ohio began tallying the damage from a tornado in Sandusky and Erie Counties, a storm of cyclonic proportions in Columbiana County, water spouts in Lake Erie off Lorain and Huron, and steady rain that inundated fields across the state. Early checks reported no lives lost but several people injured, some probably fatally, with the tornado cutting a 25-mile path no more than 100 yards wide from south of Clyde to Huron.

CLEVELAND, September 24 (AP). —Ohio today began checking up the damage done yesterday by a tornado in Sandusky and Erie Counties by a storm of cyclonic proportions in Columbiana County, by water spouts in Lake Erie off Lorain and Huron, and by a steady downpour of rain which innundated fields throughout the State.

The total damage was estimated today at between $100,000 and $250,000.

No lives were lost in any of the storms, according to early check, but several were injured, some probably fatally.

The tornado near Sandusky was 'he most destructive in that [illegible] since the northern Ohio tornado (f June 28, 1924. It swept over a 25-mile path, at no place more than 100 yards wide, beginning south of Clyde, in southeastern Sandusky County, to Huron in north central Erie County. Several funnel-shaped clouds were reported in the region.

The strong "blow" in Columbiana County struck at three points—seven miles north of East Liverpool, at Wellston and at Summitville.
