Hardin County tornado…

While no tornadoes touched down in Van Wert County or surrounding counties during last Thursday night’s storms, Hardin County wasn’t as fortunate. An EF-1 tornado with winds up to 90 miles per hour touched down at the Hardin County Fairgrounds in Kenton. It was on the ground for just a minute but did substantial damage to multiple buildings, along with poles and trees. Fortunately, no one was injured. Photo provided
