The tornado continued northeastward damaging a second home and a substantial amount of nearby softwood trees, which were snapped and felled in a convergent pattern. Additional sporadic soft and hardwood trees were snapped and uprooted along the path, including damage to a third home, before the tornado lifting north of State Highway 133 in Colquitt County. Max winds were estimated at 110 mph. Damage was estimated. |
| 19:12Z | EF0 | KILN | OH | Clark | Eagle City | The tornado first touched down on Fox Hollow Road in German Township, where a few large trees were knocked down or snapped, and several sections of fencing were blown down.||Damage was then observed at a mobile home park on Upper Valley Pike. Roof and awning damage was noted at several homes. One unoccupied home had its roof removed entirely, and the roof was found lofted over a stand of trees into a field about 150 feet to the north. Insulation from the home was also noted to be scattered in the trees high off the ground. Winds at this location were estimated to be as high as 70 MPH.||Further to the east, two semi trailers were blown over near an industrial facility on Baker Road. Just north of this facility, a large tree was uprooted.||Within the city limits of Springfield, one tree was snapped along US Route 68. A few soccer nets were blown over at the Eagle City Soccer Complex, and an outbuilding at the complex sustained minor damage. This was the last known location in which damage could be determined to be caused by the tornado. |
| 20:42Z | EF2 | KCLE | OH | Richland | Vernon Jct | A long track tornado began about 3 miles southwest of Shelby around 442 PM then tracked northeast to about 5 miles north of Olivesburg. EF 1 damage was seen along much of its 17 mile track. The most significant damage was located on the southeast and east side of Shelby from near the Chevy Dealership along State Route 39 northeastward to State Route 96 where a home was significantly damaged. This is where the EF 2 damage was observed and the tornado reached its maximum width of 1/2 mile. One vehicle was tossed 100 feet into the air with 2 people inside.

| 21:49Z | EF0 | KCLE | OH | Tuscarawas | Winfield | A storm survey confirmed a EF0 tornado in the 1400 block off of Gasser Road near Dover, Ohio. The tornado blew apart a 100 year old barn and displaced several items|that were in it. Several large branches from adjacent hardwood trees fell down as well. The tornado lifted up just after it crossed Gasser Road NW. The estimated maximum wind speed was 85 MPH. |
| 22:48Z | EF0 | KPBZ | PA | Crawford | Springboro | An EF-0 tornado occurred in Springboro, Pennsylvania at approximately 648 PM. The tornado was only briefly on the ground but caused damage to several homes along Beaver Street then lifted near north Main Street and Elm. Large trees fell along with damage to siding on a couple of the homes. Telephone poles and street signs were snapped or bent. |
| 23:43Z | EF0 | KPBZ | PA | Venango | Franklin Fisher Arpt | A brief EF0 tornado was documented from along Bowman Road to along |Baker Road. A concentrated swath of tree damage was identified along|its path, with considerable snapping of hardwood limbs and |several hardwood trunks. Damage appears to have ceased before the |storm crossed Route 417. Peak winds were estimated to be between 75 and 80 MPH. |
| 23:53Z | EF0 | KPBZ | PA | Venango | Petroleum Center | A brief, weak tornado occurred along Pioneer Road and Shreve Road. |Damage was limited to snapping of large branches from mature |hardwood trees. A few younger hardwood tree trunks also were |snapped. Peak winds were estimated to be between 65 and 70 MPH. |
| 00:20Z | EF2 | KBUF | PA | Warren | Irvine | A National Weather Service storm survey has confirmed an EF-2 tornado near Starbrick in Warren County Pennsylvania on April 14, 2019.||The tornado initially touched down on Thompsons Island, about 4 miles southwest of Starbrick and strengthened as it tracked northeast through Starbrick. The tornado reached peak intensity and produced the most significant damage (and strongest winds) in Starbrick. The Carter Lumber company sustained extensive damage along with several other nearby buildings.||The tornado continued northeast with fluctuating intensity through North Warren (Conewango Township) resulting in downed trees and damage to residential homes. Damage continued northeast through Scandia where a communications tower was knocked down. The tornado weakened as it moved north-northeast and produced its final damage at Blueberry Hill Golf Course near Lounsbury Corners. Maximum winds were estimated at 130 mph. |
| 00:51Z | EF1 | KGSP | SC | Greenville | Lakemont | NWS damage survey confirmed an area of tornado damage in extreme northwest Greenville County, within the Table Rock watershed just north of Table Rock Reservoir. While a thorough survey was impossible due to the very rugged nature of the terrain, radar data strongly suggested the tornado touched down between the summits of Rocky Mountain and Buzzard Mountain, although the damage path was picked up by the survey team on the south slope of Buzzard Mountain, about one quarter mile below the summit. Damage here was confined to the tops being blown out of multiple trees, with a dozen or so trees uprooted. From there, the tornado moved east/northeast, descending into the Slicking Creek drainage, where it appeared to intensify, blowing down numerous trees in a cove just upstream of the reservoir. The most intense damage occurred as the tornado ascended the next ridge above Slicking Creek. Hundreds of trees were blown down, with some large trees snapped about halfway up within a cove on the southern slope of Slicking Mountain. Damage here was all directed almost due north and up-drainage, suggesting wind flowing into the east side of the tornado was funneled by the terrain. The area immediately downstream of this damage was inaccessible, but based upon radar data, the tornado likely dissipated before reaching the Mountain Bridge Wilderness Area. This was the first confirmed tornado in the Greenville County mountains since official tornado records began in 1950. |
| 00:53Z | EF0 | KGSP | GA | Hart | Air Line | NWS storm survey found a tornado damage path that began along Airline-Goldmine Rd. near the intersection with W M Price Rd. A large tree was uprooted and fell onto a home at this location. Another nearby home sustained shingle loss and the collapse of a small cinderblock wall. The shingles were lofted in a direction opposite of the uprooting of an adjacent large tree. The tornado track continued northeast across Bethany-Bowersville Rd. near the intersection with Kesler Rd. to Bert Moorhead Rd, where a barn sustained major loss of roof panels and a partial collapse of one wall. Additionally, a large tree with a diameter greater than 24 inches was uprooted and other large trees were also uprooted or sustained snapped branches. The track continued northeast through open fields and woodlands before another the damage path was picked up again along Jud Cole Rd. just north of Elgin Ln, where several trees were snapped or uprooted. A metal road sign was also snapped at its base. Free-standing carports were lofted and the roof rack of a SUV was detached from the vehicle and lofted several hundred feet. A metal barn sustained significant roof and wall damage while an adjacent home suffered damage to a single wall, which had bowed outward approximately 6-12 inches from its original position. The bowing was attributed to rapid pressure changes associated with the adjacent tornado. The tornado lifted and dissipated just east of Jud Cole Rd. |
| 02:03Z | EF1 | KGSP | SC | Greenville | Fellowship Xrds | NWS storm survey found a tornado damage path that began approximately one-half mile east of W. Georgia Rd. near Brittle Creek Ln., Plum Hill Way, and Frostweed Ct., where homes sustained minor shingle, gutter, and siding damage. The tornado tracked northeast into new subdivisions off of Barker Rd. where additional damage to roofs and siding occurred. The intermittent damage path extended across Neely Ferry Rd., with damage indicators intensifying in the Alder Park area. Dozens of large diameter trees were uprooted and large branches and trunks were snapped. One tree fell on a home and a trampoline was lifted hundreds of feet into the park from an adjacent home. Little to no damage was observed as the tornado track continued northeast across I-385, but additional damage was noted near Richardson St. and Main St., where additional trees were damaged and a garage completely collapsed on top of three vehicles inside. The tornado reached its maximum width of approximately 100 yards from Main St/Highway 14 to Poinsettia Dr. to E Curtis St., where a large tree was uprooted and fell on a home. As the tornado track continued northeast paralleling E. Georgia Rd., the intensity decreased and damage became more intermittent, with additional minor damage to homes and trees. The tornado strengthened one final time near the intersection of Lee Vaughn Rd. and Moorgate Dr. where uplift of a house roof deck occurred, resulting in significant loss of roofing material and insulation. Overall, along the entire path hundreds of trees were either uprooted, had severed trunks, or had snapped branches. A few homes sustained significant damage either due to fallen trees or structural loss. This tornado followed a similar path to an EF1 tornado that affected the Simpsonville area in November 2016, although the path of this tornado was shorter. The path of these two tornadoes apparently intersected along East Georgia Rd east of Simpsonville. |
| 04:35Z | EF1 | KCCX | PA | Union | Lochiel | The National Weather Service in State College PA confirmed an EF1 tornado near Buffalo Valley in East Buffalo Township in Union County Pennsylvania on April 15, 2019.||Initial straight line wind damage was surveyed at Melmar Drive, where large trees were uprooted. Straight line downburst winds accelerated down the hillside to the north of Melmar Drive causing the tornado to spin up just before reaching the Buffalo Valley United Methodist Church (the former Buffalo Cross Roads Elementary School), where trees were uprooted in a convergent pattern along the path.||The tornado continued northeast, completely destroying a barn and snapping/uprooting additional trees along Buffalo Road before ending just south of the Eastern Industries Quarry. Several homes sustained minor damage with additional barn roofs blown off. Maximum winds were estimated around 90 mph. |
| 05:00Z | EF2 | KBGM | PA | Columbia | Benton | A National Weather Service survey team confirmed a tornado near Benton in Columbia County Pennsylvania on April 15, 2019.||The tornado started near the intersection of O Roy Rd and Distillery Hill Rd and continued NE into the town of Benton. Nine trailers off of Everett Street sustained significant damage. Additionally, about 50 homes and businesses were impacted by|the tornado. One well-constructed home had its roof completely blown off by winds estimated at 115 mph, reaching low end EF2 strength. The tornado continued northeast across Mill Race Golf Course and a small campground before lifting near Raski Road about two and a half miles northeast of Benton. ||There were several trees blown down southwest of the tornado track, which were characteristic of straight line wind damage. |
| 05:05Z | EF1 | KBGM | PA | Sullivan | Millview | The National Weather Service in State College PA has confirmed a tornado near Dushore in Sullivan County Pennsylvania on April 15, 2019. A tornado touched down near World`s End State Park on State Route 154 and continued northeast into the borough of Dushore. Along its path, the tornado produced pockets of damage characteristic of wind speeds greater than 100 miles per hour. Numerous trees were snapped or uprooted near World`s End State Park and in Cherry Mills. A barn was completely destroyed at Rickety Bridge Farm on Happys Road. The tornado did considerable damage to the borough of Dushore where 7-8 homes suffered moderate damage and numerous trees were snapped or uprooted. A majority of the copper was removed from the top a church steeple as well. The tornado lifted east of US 220 after it passed through Dushore. Peak winds for the tornado were 110 mph. |
| 05:32Z | EF1 | KBGM | NY | Broome | Tunnel | Several trees were uprooted just to the west of Monkey Run Road in |Fenton which was likely close to where the tornado touched down. |The most significant damage occurred as the tornado tracked |eastward through two residential properties on Monkey Run Road. |Several dozen softwood and hardwood trees were uprooted or snapped|in its path. One house sustained moderate damage to the roof. The|roof cover that was above the deck was lofted across the back |yard. Insulation from the attic and a trampoline in the back yard |was found 250 yards away in the middle of a densely wooded area. |Damage to another house included ten broken windows, loss of |shingles and a garage door that was torn off.||Farther east, several large pine trees were uprooted or snapped |while roof shingles were torn off a house on Tunnel Road. Tree |damage became much more sporadic farther east as the tornado lifted |near Walling Road in Colesville.||The damage when the tornado was at peak intensity was consistent |with an EF-1 tornado with maximum estimated winds near 100 mph. |
| 05:45Z | EF0 | KBGM | PA | Lackawanna | Scranton | A tornado touched down at the intersection of Maple street and Boland court in Scranton taking down some trees and wires. The tornado then briefly lifted over the Central Scranton Expressway. A second touchdown occurred on Lindon street and Harrison Avenue with more tree and wire damage along with a few trees into buildings as well. Some of the residences also had roof damage. The tornado once again lifted briefly before causing more damage on 5th Street and Cherry Street. Before finally lifting, the tornado downed several trees on a field and overturned a small structure at Sherwood park in Dunmore. |
| 05:50Z | EF1 | KBGM | PA | Susquehanna | West Lenox | A tornado touched down on Tingly Street in Harford township. The tornado moved along Deer Trail Road and took down a barn and portions of a silo. The tornado then moved onto Orphan School Road and Bartholomew Road. There were trees and wires down on both roads. The tornado then lifted over Interstate 81 and touched down again on Upper and Lower Podunk roads where more trees and wires were downed. The tornado lifted near Pennay Hill Road. |
| 06:16Z | EF0 | KRAX | NC | Halifax | Ringwood | A weak EF-0 tornado briefly touched down in the vicinity of the Brinkleyville Hunt Club, just west of highway 48. The tornado then traveled northeast, crossing highway 48 near December Lane. The tornado then traveled through an open field, entered a wooded area and lifted. The majority of the damage caused by the tornado was minor, however one residence suffered major damage to its roof and partial damage to a couple of exterior walls. Several trees were also damaged or destroyed. |
| 06:29Z | EF0 | KAKQ | VA | Northumberland | Walmsley | A brief EF0 tornado touched down just southwest of Heathsville along Dodlyt Road in Northumberland County. The tornado caused some roof damage to a barn and minor tree damage before lifting before crossing Route 360. |
| 07:31Z | EF0 | KDOX | MD | Dorchester | Finchville | A brief EF0 tornado touched down on Bailey Store Road, about 2.5 miles southeast of Federalsburg. This tornado was embedded within a line of severe storms which moved through the Maryland Eastern Shore. Small sheds were damaged or destroyed, an empty trailer was tipped over and some trees were snapped or downed. |
| 07:38Z | EF2 | KDOX | DE | Sussex | Bethel | A tornado traveled from Woodland Ferry Road northeast to Pepper Road. One barn was destroyed. A tree fell on a house, resulting in one injury. In addition, there was roof damage to several other homes and barns. Many trees were uprooted along the tornado path, and a few were snapped. |
| 08:00Z | EF1 | KDOX | DE | Sussex | Harbeson | A tornado touched down near Carpenter Road in Harbeson. This tornado was associated with the same parent circulation that produced an EF2 tornado in Laurel, DE. Sporadic damage occurred over the remainder of the path, and the tornado may not have been on the ground continuously. Damage was observed on Shay Lane, where a few trees were snapped and a section of a barn roof was removed. Near the coast on South Bay Shore Drive, a couple of additional trees were snapped along with some roof damage. A distinct swirling pattern was also seen in a marshy grass area at this location. Beyond this point the circulation moved offshore. Dual polarization radar data was also useful in confirming a tornado debris signature. |
