New Details on 2 Tornadoes Confirmed in Northwestern Pennsylvania During Monday’s Storms
Survey Summary:
The National Weather Service Cleveland office confirmed an EF-
2 tornado in eastern Erie County, Pennsylvania, with maximum
estimated wind speeds of 115 mph and a maximum path width of
150 yards. The tornado touched down just northwest of the
intersection of Plum Road and Page Road, with swirls in the field
and moving northeast toppling a large tree and destroying a barn
near Knoyle Rd. The tornado crossed Knoyle Road and struck a second
barn directly, which contained several vehicles and trailers. The
barn was destroyed, leaving the cars heavily damaged and a
trailer overturned. Debris from the structure was across a
nearby field and into the adjacent woods. Two horses and several
cows were killed as a result of the tornado. A nearby home
sustained moderate damage, including ripped siding from the west
side, broken windows, and a blown-out side door. The tornado
continued northeast across an open field before entering a wooded
area, where it damaged several trees. It then lifted shortly
thereafter.
