NWS Team Gives Details on Tornado that Touched Down in Berks Tuesday

  • The National Weather Service confirmed that an EF0 tornado touched down at 4:47 p.m. Tuesday near Douglassville in Amity Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania.
  • The tornado formed during a severe thunderstorm that swept through Berks County, with Bay Area damage reports and a survey prompted by local tree and structural damage.
  • The tornado's damage included uprooted and snapped softwood tree limbs, with gusty straight-line winds extending damage toward Boyertown and Gilbertsville, knocking down trees and causing power outages.
  • The EF0 tornado produced peak winds reaching 70 mph and led to widespread tree damage that caused power outages for over 21,000 customers immediately following the storm. The NWS indicated that these outages were mainly due to intense straight-line winds.
  • No injuries were reported, and service was restored to most customers by Thursday morning, while the storm highlighted typical features of weak tornadoes and accompanying damaging winds in the region.
