Seven years ago this month, on 5 November 2017, a cold front spawned 24 tornadoes as it passed over Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

The one that hit Williamsfield, Ohio was documented by the National Weather Service in Pittsburgh.

The November outbreak was unusual for its location and intensity, described in this vintage article.

So far, this year’s November tornadoes are less numerous and are well south and west of here.
