A exceptionally powerful and violent wedge tornado caused catastrophic damage in the community of Hell, with the community being all but wiped off the map. Injuries were in the dozens and 17 people were killed. One of the most violent tornadoes on record in terms of tree damage. In addition, this was the first tornado to be rated at F5 or EF5 intensity in the state of Michigan since the Saugatuck-Hudsonville-Standale tornado in 1956.
EF2	Kendallville	Noble	IN	19:45-19:53	4.08 mi	300 yd	A strong tornado moved directly through the center of the town of Kendallville, causing severe structural and tree damage, with one home being completely leveled and swept away, although this house was found to had been poorly constructed. 4 people were injured.

A bare foundation was reported along the track of the tornado, although it was later found that a mobile home had been located here. Last tornado of the day in Indiana.
EF1	Quincy	Branch	MI	20:27-20:30	2.40 mi	1,500 yd	A massive yet weak large wedge tornado, this tornado initially touched down southwest of Quincy and quickly moved northeast, producing EF1 damage to a large part of the town. Several houses were noted to have had their roofs removed and tree debarking was reported northeast of Quincy, although the tornado was rated a high-end EF1.
EF2	Near Lansing	Ingham	MI	20:34-20:45	11.04 mi	700 yd	A large and strong tornado moved through open areas north of the capitol city of Michigan, warranting a tornado emergency for northern Ingham County.

EF3	Bryan	Williams	OH	20:55-21:04	9.67 mi	1,300 yd	1 death - A multi-vortex large wedge tornado cut directly through the downtown district of Bryan, producing extensive structural damage. Many houses were completely destroyed, and 1 person was killed when the mobile home they were in was destroyed. A swath of "near-EF4" damage was noted by storm surveyors in the center of Bryan, and it was noted that the tornado may have briefly attained EF4 intensity at this point. 1 person was killed and 19 were injured. First tornado of the day in Ohio.
EF4	Somserset Center	Hillsdale	MI	21:03-21:07	4.41 mi	1,500 yd	A large wedge tornado wiped the community of Somerset Center off the face of the Earth, with many houses being partially or completely leveled. Several anchor-bolted houses were swept clean from their foundations in what storm surveyors described as "damage near EF5 intensity", although a rating of 195 mph EF4 was applied due to the noted lack of anchor bolt washers. Farm equipment was also noted to had been severely mangled, and ground scouring several inches deep was noted northeast of Somerset Center. Despite the extensive damage, no one was injured by the tornado.
EF1	Michigan Center	Jackson	MI	21:15-21:23	5.40 mi	100 yd	A stovepipe EF1 tornado reportedly touched down several times in Michigan Center, causing heavy damage to houses. Damage was noted of possible EF2 intensity at several locations.

EF2	Sylvania, OH to Lambertville, MI	Lucas (OH), Monroe (MI)	OH, MI	21:39-21:44	7.39 mi	600 yd	A large cone tornado touched down in downtown Sylvania, rapidly moving northeast and intensifying, causing significant structural damage in Sylvania. Trees were downed onto houses, and some houses had their roofs removed. One house had it's exterior walls blown in near the Ohio-Michigan state line, although the house was found to be poorly-built and therefore a high-end EF2 rating was applied, although a EF3 rating was apparently considered by surveyors. The tornado then moved through the center of Lambertville, continuing to cause structural damage before lifting southwest of Temperance. 1 person was injured.
EF0	Rossford	Wood	OH	21:52	0.13 mi	30 yd	A brief tornado touchdown occurred within the city limits of Rossford. Minimal damage was reported.

Many houses were reportedly destroyed, with some being reportedly swept from their foundations, although these houses were found to had been poorly built. It was at one of these houses where the only death of the tornado occurred. A rating of EF4 was initially considered by storm surveyors before being decided against. Trees were uprooted northeast of Milan, and ground scouring several inches deep also was reported. It has been suggested that the tornado may have briefly attained EF5 intensity at this point.
EF1	Monroe	Monroe	MI	22:09-22:11	2.24 mi	300 yd	A tornado cut directly through the center of Monroe, causing moderate structural damage. Several houses had their roofs removed, and many trees were knocked down. A mobile home was also swept away, although damage was assigned at high-end EF1.

Nearly 50% of Detroit's downtown core sustained damage of some sort, and nearly 60% of Windsor's downtown core suffered similar damage. A swath of low-end EF5 damage was initially noted just west of Detroit's downtown core, with an additional swath being noted in downtown Windsor. Rated a EF5 with winds of 210 mph due to damages in Windsor, with damage being rated up to 205 mph on the US side of the border. Injuries were in the thousands.

A powerful wedge tornado moved through the city of Chatham-Kent, producing widespread severe structural damage. Many houses were swept away, including a few well-built houses.

Several houses were damaged moderately, including one house that had a exterior wall collapsed. Although a EF2 rating was originally considered, the tornado was rated a high-end EF1 due to the poor structural quality of the house.
EF2	Cleveland to Euclid	Cuyahoga	OH	01:42-01:53	12.00 mi	600 yd	See section on this tornado here - A large and powerful tornado moved through the downtown district of Cleveland late on April 28, causing widespread significant structural damage in the area and prompting a tornado emergency for Cleveland and Euclid.

No one was killed in this tornado, although nearly 30 people were injured.
EF3	Akron	Summit	OH	01:44-01:55	11.38 mi	700 yd	See section on this tornado here - Another strong and large tornado struck Akron around the same time as the Cleveland tornado further north, also causing widespread significant structural damage and prompting a tornado emergency for Akron. Several poorly constructed cinder-block foundation houses were leveled and partially swept from their foundations, which caused the National Weather Service to assign a EF3 rating to this tornado. This tornado was one of the strongest tornadoes in the Cleveland-Akron area since record-keeping began. Seven people were injured.
EF0	Brooke-Alvinston	Lambton	ON	01:59-02:00	1.10 mi	40 yd	A short lived and weak tornado caused minimal damage in the Alvinston vicinity. A few houses were slightly damaged.

A EF2 rating was originally considered, although they reportedly held off from assigning such a rating given structural issues to the buildings that received more severe damage.
EF2	Youngstown	Mahoning	OH	02:35-02:39	4.01 mi	300 yd	A strong tornado moved directly through the center of Youngstown, causing significant structural and tree damage along it's path. Several houses had their exterior walls blown down, originally suggesting possible low-end EF3 intensity, although the structural quality of these houses limited the rating to high-end EF2. 3 people were injured.
EF1	Delaware	Middlesex	ON	02:50-02:53	3.95 mi	100 yd	A tornado moved just south of the community of Delaware, producing moderate structural damage. Low-end EF1 damage was found at multiple locations, allowing for a EF1 rating to be applied.

EF1	Near St. Thomas	Elgin	ON	03:14-03:20	6.04 mi	700 yd	A large and powerful tornado touched down south of St. Thomas, embedded in a squall line moving across southern Ontario. Despite radar indications that this tornado had winds nearing 170 mph at peak intensity, suggesting a EF4 tornado, limited structural damage kept the rating at high-end EF1. One person was injured.
EF1	Aylmer	Elgin	ON	03:27-03:31	5.15 mi	500 yd	A large tornado moved through the far southern edge of Aylmer late on April 28, causing moderate to significant structural damage. Questionable construction quality at many houses led to Environment Canada assigning a very high-end EF1 rating to the tornado. 1 person was injured.
EF2	Kearsarge	Erie	PA	03:41-03:50	8.04 mi	400 yd	Only tornado of the outbreak in Pennsylvania and last strong tornado of the outbreak, as well as the last tornado in the United States of the outbreak.
