Adams County avoids storm damage

Decatur Daily Democrat:

Adams County escaped damage from thunderstorms and tornadoes on Monday evening, but Van Wert County, just across the border in Ohio, was again hammered by a twister that reportedly left a 3.5-mile-long trail of destruction in the Ohio City area (see below).

One funnel cloud was reported by a stormspotter near Decatur shortly before 6 p.m., causing the several warning sirens in the city to be switched on, but there was no touchdown here, officials said.

In fact, no storm damage was reported today in the county by the emergency management and sheriff's departments.

All roads were open, but some rural roads had water running across them as storm water drained away. A few streets in Decatur had backed up water due to the amount of rain, but that drained away relatively quickly, officials said.
