destroying 17 barns near Decatur, before moving through Adams County, where 25 homes and barns were damaged or destroyed and four trailer homes were destroyed. Final reports of damage occurred near Otway and Lucasville in Scioto County. Four people were injured in Brown County. The tornado occasionally lifted as it dipped into valleys but mostly remained on the ground, though it may have been a tornado family. It produced high-end F4 damage and may have been an F5 like the Wheelersburg–Gallipolis event, but is officially rated F4. In all, the tornado injured 364 people and caused $27,775,250 in losses. Wheelersburg–Lyra–Buckhorn–Cadmus–Centenary–Gallipolis, Ohio At around 5:00 p.m. EDT (21:00 UTC), the deadliest tornado of the outbreak touched down. Although several eyewitnesses observed the tornado crossing the Ohio River en route to Wheelersburg, official records indicate that touchdown first occurred in Scioto County, Ohio; however, this segment may have been continuous with the F3 tornado that struck Greenup County, Kentucky. As the tornado impacted land, it struck a freight train stationed beside the river, toppling 10 empty coal-hoppers, one of which it lifted . The tornado then affected a combined trucking terminal and garage, a transfer company, a farm supplier, and seven homes at the foot of a hillside. One of the homes was swept from its foundation. Cars were tossed from US 52 as well. The tornado missed downtown Wheelersburg, but peripheral winds downed tree limbs in town, and a number of homes incurred damage as well. Outside Wheelersburg proper, the tornado intensified as it struck the Dogwood Ridge subdivision, causing F5 damage there. Of the 550 homes reportedly destroyed or damaged around Wheelersburg, most were located in the Dogwood Ridge area, approximately east-northeast of town. All known fatalities and 75 injuries occurred in this area. A greenhouse was destroyed and a furniture company had its roof torn off. A large metal power line truss tower was ripped off at the base and thrown by the tornado. Wheelersburg Cemetery was damaged as well. Meteorological reports suggested that the tornado weakened after passing Dogwood Ridge and only traveled in Ohio before dissipating. However, official records indicate that the storm moved east into Lawrence and Gallia counties and affected areas near and around the communities of Lyra, Buckhorn, Cadmus, Centenary, and Gallipolis, where the tornado dissipated after its initial touchdown. One injury occurred in Lawrence County and 17 more in Gallia County. The tornado
