PITTSBURGH — For the second weekend in a row, strong storms spawned a tornado in Western Pennsylvania.
The National Weather Service has confirmed that storms on Sunday evening led to a tornado in Beaver County. It crossed into the state from Ohio by State Line Road and Cannelton Road.
No EF rating was immediately available.
On June 6, a storm produced six tornadoes across the region.
Here’s a look at the damage caused by the storms across our area on Sunday.
Meteorologists survey damage caused by severe storms in Beaver County as residents clean up
The National Weather Service spent time Monday afternoon surveying damage left behind in White Township, Beaver County. It’s less than 10 miles from a confirmed tornado on Cannelton Road in Darlington.
“We saw the skies get dark very quickly. It wasn’t even raining and the wind was whipping around. You kind of knew something was going to happen,” said Maura Watterson, who lives nearby in Patterson Township.
The tornado on Cannelton Road was the second tornado from a storm that also produced a tornado in Salem, Ohio.
Alicia Miller, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Pittsburgh, said the path of that storm continued toward White Township. Right now, they’re trying to figure out if it also caused a tornado there.
“The one thing that we’re looking for is structural damage,” Miller said. “Also, whether there’s been damage to trees, power lines, and then what’s the significance of that damage? That helps us determine what the speed rating is, and also kind of gives us an idea of whether it was tornadic or not.”
Cleanup continues after damaging winds tear through parts of Elizabeth Township
It was a common sight Monday in the Blaine Hill area of Elizabeth Township: trees toppled over by Sunday’s strong winds and severe weather. Some of those trees fell onto cars and power lines in the neighborhood.
Channel 11 viewers sent a video taken from their house on Chicago Avenue, showing the moment a tree came crashing down onto two cars, damaging them, as porch furniture blows through the yard.
Drone 11 flew over some of the other damage we found, including a massive tree uprooted in a neighbor’s yard, broken branches scattered on the ground and on roofs of houses, and even a tree on top of an old camper in the woods.
Roberta Walk was at a friend’s house for dinner Sunday night as conditions worsened.
“I said, ‘We’ve got to get home. This is crazy’ because the dogs were in the house, and they were on the first floor; there were a lot of windows around,” Walk said.
