Patch explores the last time a tornado touched down in Cuyahoga County after severe weather warnings on Wednesday

While the severe weather in Cleveland Heights on Wednesday may not as been as bad as it was elsewhere, four tornadoes touched down in Ohio in Ashtabula, Huron, Sandusky, and Tuscarawas counties. As I waited the rain out, I wondered when the last time a tornado touched down in Cuyahoga County.

According to the Tornado History Project, 14 tornadoes have touched down in Cuyahoga County since 1952, causing a total of 645 injuries and 40 fatalities.

The most recent was an F-2 tornado in November, 2002.
