(Wilmington)--The National Weather Service confirmed three tornadoes hit Butler County Tuesday night. An EF-1 storm hit Reily Township, toppling a grain silo, causing structural damage to several homes, and downing trees and power lines from the Bunker Hill Woods area to the Indian Ridge Golf Course off U.S. 27. The storm moved along Stillwell-Beckett Road, where most of the damage was reported. An EF-0 storm touched down off Cincinnati-Dayton Road at Henderickson Road in the Blue Ball area. Several trailers were overturned at a business. The touchdown occured just east of the Cleveland-Cliffs mill and near I-75. The third tornado, an EF-1, touched down in Franklin County, Indiana and traveled over eight miles before dissipating after it crossed the state line into Butler County, where an out building was damaged. The weather service office in Wilmington says a dozen tornadoes touched down in the forecast area.
