(3-5-24) The National Weather Service (NWS) has confirmed that today a landspout tornado was confirmed in Leipsic in Putnam County at around 2:35pm.

Is a landspout a real tornado?

Landspouts are still a kind of tornado, but there are some key differences in how they form versus tornadoes. The main difference between these types of tornadoes is the thunderstorms that produce them. A “typical” tornado usually comes from a supercell storm, while landspouts are not produced by supercells.

One home was seriously damaged, winds were around 70mph and was considered a EF-0.
