| 15:47Z | EF2 | KPBZ | PA | Armstrong | Echo | Convergent damage to trees (large limbs and smaller trunks |snapped) was first noted just south of State Route 1035 near Pine |Road. As the tornado moved rapidly northeast, it strengthened and |widened considerably, causing EF1 damage to trees as it passed |through the area near State Route 1028 and Mateer Road, and across|State Route 1037. The vortex then strengthened further as it |moved through a heavily wooded area along Harris Road. In this |area, ground and aerial drone surveys revealed total devastation |of a large swath of hardwood and softwood trees along a 350 yd-|wide path, consistent with wind just reaching the EF2 range. The |dirt/gravel road was impassable by vehicle as a result of the |broad tree destruction. Review of drone footage revealed that the |number of trees wholly snapped or uprooted was in the many |hundreds. ||The tornado continued northeast, snapping additional trees|along Country Road before crossing two homesteads along State|Route 1018, where several 100+ year-old mature pine trees were |snapped at their base and two barns were destroyed following |garage door and complete roof failure. Roof debris was blown 3/4 |mile downwind along School House Rd. Damage diminished notably |after the circulation crossed Ridge Road, possibly as a result of |the locally higher terrain. Evidence of secondary vortex |contraction and strengthening was observed looking northeast from |Ridge Road toward Boat Launch Road, where some tree damage was |noted, along with metal roof debris from a small outbuilding. |Although this mesovortex tornado spent most of its existence at |EF0 strength (70-85 mph), there was a brief period where wind |reached much higher speed of approximately 120 mph. Therefore, the|tornado's path will be rated EF2. |

The tornado continued on a path to the northeast and and damaged or destroyed several chicken barns and remained on the ground most of the time until moving into southern Stanly County. Additional damage occurred 1.5 miles east-northeast of Burnsville, in Anson County. At approximately 12:27 PM EST damage there consisted of a brick home that was shifted off of its foundation, several exterior walls that were blown out, and more than half of the roof was removed.

In addition, an HVAC unit was dislodged and flipped over on the roof of a warehouse building before quickly dissipating. |
| 20:38Z | EF1 | KBGM | PA | Lycoming | Clarkstown | An EF1 tornado producing peak winds estimated between 85 to 95 mph tracked from northern Montour County into southeastern Lycoming County. The tornado touched down along Gearhart Road in northern Montour County, knocking down a tree and then causing damage to a barn along Muncy Exchange Road. The tornado continued northeastward into Lycoming County where it caused extensive tree damage along and east of Laidecker Road.|As the tornado moved further into Moreland Township, it knocked down hundreds of trees and damaged a silo roof, barn roof, and porch at various properties along Wallis Road. Dozens of trees were knocked down/snapped off along Moreland Township Road and Church Road and multiple outbuildings were damaged. Damage was observed to trees, barns, and outbuildings on Stahlnecker Road and along Dairy Farm Road toward Lairdsville Rd (PA-118).|Significant damage occurred at the intersection of Old Lairdsville Road and PA-118, where a barn collapsed and was thrown across the yard to the east-northeast. Notably, a piece of lumber was lodged into the hood of a Jeep on the property. Another barn suffered some minor roof damage. The tornado continued northeastward into Franklin Township, knocking down numerous trees along PA-118 into the village of Lairdsville. The most intense area of damage was on the south side of Lairdsville where multiple homes suffered heavy roof damage and broken windows, and barns were damaged. On School Lane, which parallels PA-118 to the northwest, multiple trees were knocked down and another barn was blown apart. Another piece of lumber was thrown through a truck windshield, with glass entering the eye of a passenger and the lumber narrowly missing the other passenger.|East of Lairdsville, a barn was destroyed on Mill Lane. The Lairdsville Butcher Shop experienced some structural damage as well. The tornado continued to produce tree damage along PA-118 northeast of town before lifting about a mile northeast of Lairdsville, with a total path length of nearly nine miles. |
| 00:22Z | EF0 | KLWX | VA | Fairfax | Bull Run | A brief tornado occurred in Centreville, Virginia, near the end of Batavia Drive behind Cub Run Elementary School. Multiple softwood pine trees surrounding the end of Batavia Drive were damaged by the tornado, with several snapped and others uprooted. A nearby house had siding some siding removed, including from the chimney.||The tornado touched down immediately east of Cub Run Elementary School and transited from west to east toward the cul-de-sac at the end of Batavia Drive. The cul-de-sac was formerly surrounded by about two dozen trees. The seven trees on the south side of the cul-de-sac were undamaged, while most of the remainder were either uprooted, snapped at the base, or snapped 10 to 15 feet above the ground. One of the tree tops was turned in mid-air and landed opposite to its expected orientation had this been straight-line winds, indicative of a very brief tornado touchdown.||The tornado lifted as it moved east of the cul-de-sac. |
| 00:41Z | EF0 | KLWX | VA | Fairfax | Tysons Corner | A tornado touched down in Tysons Corner, Virginia, along VA-123 Chain Bridge Road just northwest of Tysons Corner Center Mall. Two service stations were damaged by the tornado. The first one, a Sunoco gas station situated on the corner of VA-123 Chain Bridge Road and International Drive, had a partial canopy collapse. Winds lifted upwards under the canopy and caused the northwest corner of the canopy to collapse on the service station building.||A group of bushes separating the two service stations experienced significant vegetation loss on the southeast facing side. A Mobil gas station about 120 feet from the Sunoco gas station experienced a number of impacts to the building and surrounding objects. A garage door facing northwest was blown 10 to 15 feet away from the building. Metal paneling at the top of the roof along the northwest and southeast facing sides of the building were damaged and tossed away from the building. A small canopy hanging over the entrance of the service station was mangled beyond repair. A video posted on social media displayed a number of loose items, including packs of water and other small items tossed around in a rotating fashion in the front of the building. Flying debris also cause at least 6 to 8 windows in the front of the Mobil station to shatter.||Eyewitness accounts along wiht a video posted on social media show the tornado as it passed the Mobil gas station and was approximately 100 yards away with clear rotation evident in the video as it approached the entrance to Tysons Corner Center Mall on Tysons One Place. A ceiling tile was removed from a nearby building and landed on the tracks of the Silver Line of the Metro, temporarily blocking service between the Tysons Corner Center and McLean Metro stops.||Based on a lack of damage displayed further southeast, it is concluded that the tornado over the northwest Tysons Corner Center Mall parking garage on Tysons One Place. |

The CVS Pharmacy at the intersection of Souderton Road and |Route 313 also sustained minor cosmetic damage, including the front |door being blown out. Also near this intersection, a home sustained |minor cosmetic damage and a number of trees were uprooted and |snapped where the tornado crossed into Bedminster Township. The |tornado continued northeast along Bedminster Road weakening |somewhat, but still uprooting and snapping several trees and causing |cosmetic damage to some homes, especially near the intersection of |Bucks Road.||The tornado continued northeast toward Elephant Road while |continuing to cause mainly sporadic tree damage, including uprooting |several trees in front of a home. The tornado passed over the |Bedminster Municipal Authority complex, where it blew off roof |shingles from several well constructed buildings and uprooted a few |small trees nearby. The tornado crossed Elephant Road about 700 feet |south of Irish Meetinghouse Road where it caused some more |substantial tree damage. At least a dozen or more healthy trees were |uprooted or snapped along a driveway, one of which fell onto a |parked vehicle. The home on this property sustained minor cosmetic |damage and had some roof shingles blown off. The tornado then |continued into a wooded area with homes paralleling Irish |Meetinghouse Road where the tree damage became more sporadic once |again, and no additional structural damage was noted. The tornado |then crossed just north of Irish Meetinghouse Road where it uprooted |a few small trees in an open field then dissipated.||No known injuries or fatalities occurred from this tornado. |
