The total number of tornadoes to hit Northeast Ohio during last week's storms has now risen to five after the National Weather Service confirmed today that one hit Bay Village in Cuyahoga County.
Based on new video & radar evidence our office has made adjustments to the tornado track across NE Lorain & NW Cuyahoga Counties. The result is an extension to the original tornado track and the addition of a new NW to SE tornado track in Bay Village. #ohwx pic.twitter.com/qQPo4YgvJT

According to the NWS, an EF-1 tornado touched down in Bay Village on Aug. 6 around 3:54 p.m. and traveled 1.75 miles into Westlake before dissipating at 3:56 p.m.
The twister had a max width of 250 yards and reached a peak wind speed of 110 mph.
No injuries or deaths were reported.
Last week, the NWS confirmed four tornadoes touched down, and a macroburst hit three counties on the east side. Nearly half a million people were without power.
During a news conference on Monday, FirstEnergy officials said that most people would have their power restored by 11 p.m., earlier than the estimated date of Wednesday provided last week.
