WATCH: ODOT camera captures tornado travel through Auglaize Co. highway

AUGLAIZE COUNTY — An Ohio Department of Transportation traffic camera captured the moment a tornado traveled through an Auglaize County highway.

The traffic camera was located at I-75 at US-33 and showed footage just before 1 a.m. early Saturday.

Cars can be seen traveling on the highway slowly as winds push a wall of heavy rain across the roadway.

A large flash of lightning lights up the highway, as the traffic camera shakes from the winds before it is forced downward.
