Your friend will need to get an SR22 non owners insurance if she does not have a car in her household.
If the state of Ohio requires an SR22 auto insurance certificate to have her drivers license reinstated, she will need to get this and maintain it even if she does not have a car. Normally if you own a vehicle you acquire the required liability coverages and SR22 filing on the automobile(s) you own. If your friend does not own a vehicle then you acquire a non-owners policy which is still the required coverages plus she needs to get the SR-22 filed with the state of Ohio as mandated there is just no vehicle to list on the policy.
An SR22 non-owners insurance generally permits the named insure to drive any car that they are given permission to operate by the automobile owner, unless the car is owned by a household member.

Hello Mary,
Every auto insurance policy contains liability and collision coverage. With auto insurance policy, basic liability insurance protects you in the event you are the cause of an accident and other people are involved. If other riders are injured, your auto insurance liability coverage will protect you by covering the cost of these damages. Most liability coverage has additional riders to provide a variety of liability protection.
Your auto insurance policy also contains collision coverage. If your car collides with either another car or a stationary object, repairs will be covered up to the actual cash value of the vehicle. Under the terms of your auto insurance policy, the actual cash value is not related to the purchase price of the vehicle, but is determined by the actual book value of the car.

Unfortunately no, your liability only auto insurance coverage in Cincinnati, OH will not cover your car if it is damaged from a tornado.
Liability coverages as part of your car insurance only covers those that you may damage; this type of coverage provides no coverage to your car in any way. Bodily injury and Property Damage liability coverages are the minimum types of coverages that the state require.
With only liability insurance you don’t have any coverages that will protect your car, only those that you may harm when you are driving your vehicle. So your auto insurance carrier would not be able to accept a car insurance claim to repair your car after a tornado caused damage to it.
Always remember that if a tornado is on the way and your state is already under a storm warning then insurance carriers will not offer physical damage coverages to be bought during that time. If you want to have comprehensive on your car you will need to do so before the hurricane is approaching and your area in Cincinnati, Ohio is under a warning.
