1924: A tornado, probably an F4, took an odd path as hit touched down in Sandusky, OH, then moved out over Lake Erie for 24 miles, and then came back on shore at Vermilion and Lorain, OH. Because the tornado went through downtown Lorain, relatively few homes were destroyed in that city but there was great destruction to businesses. There were 85 fatalities from Sandusky to the tornado's end east of Lorain, some of which may have occurred when the tornado hit several boats out on Lake Erie.
