Damage assessment determined that an EF0 tornado with a maximum 
wind speed of 65 mph briefly touched down along Omar Rd in 
Frankford, DE and moved ESE over a heavily forested area towards 
Shockley Town Rd. Several brief video clips shared by broadcast 
media and social media showed various angles of a tornado in 
progress in the heavily forested area between Omar Rd and 
Shockley Town Rd. Several large branches were twisted and snapped 
along Omar Rd. Additional damage is possible in the heavily 
forested area, but the survey team was unable to access the area. 

Special thanks to local media and the Sussex County Emergency
Management for their assistance in this storm survey.

A brief and weak tornado touched down on Weavertown Lane in Amity 
Township Berks County, Pennsylvania during the late afternoon of 
July 1. Several trees had large limbs broken or snapped off, some of 
which were twisted, although these were all softwood trees. At least 
one tree was uprooted. Sporadic tree damage continued down 
Weavertown Lane with the tornado crossing Old Swede Road. The 
direction of the damage had some variability to it. The tornado may 
have partially lifted for a time, however the visible damage ended
across a farm field at Boyertown Pike near Camp Road where several
trees were downed. Given that the damage was confined to softwood 
trees, this tornado was rated on the lower end of the EF0 range with
peak winds to 70 mph.

To the east and northeast of the tornado path however, a rear-flank 
downdraft with straight-line winds up to 70 mph continued toward 
Boyertown with additional tree damage and then to the north side of 
Gilbertsville in Montgomery County where more tree damage occurred. 
There were several other areas of wind damage in Berks County, and 
the probable cause of this was severe straight-line winds.

The National Weather Service in Mount Holly would like to thank Mr. 
Lou Ruh and the Berks County Emergency Management for their 
assistance with this storm survey.
