RADAR-INDICATED ROTATION PROMPTS EARLY MORNING TORNADO WARNING

(Whitewater Valley)--A line of strong thunderstorms passed through the Whitewater Valley early Wednesday morning and prompted a tornado warning for several counties, include Wayne.  The warning, which came at around 3:40 Wednesday morning, was not based on any actual tornado sighting but rather on radar-indicated rotation.  Wayne County’s only reported significant result of the storm was a transformer that blew and brought lines down across U.S. 40 near Hiser Station Road.  40 was closed while that issue was addressed.  In Preble County, tight rotation was indicated by radar in an area between Eaton and Lakengren, but no damage was reported.
