Damage was more significant and concentrated in a neighborhood near Detroit Street and Main Street, especially between Railroad Street and Letson Street. Numerous trees and large limbs were downed and numerous homes and garages had at least some minor roof or fascia damage. The winds were likely the strongest just north of Letson Street, where one garage was flattened and another outbuilding had its roof and second floor removed.

Additional tree damage and minor structural damage was noted on the east side of Main Street, extending from near the Hardin County Sheriff's Office through Brumm Street.||Additional tree damage was observed on the north side of the Scioto River, near and south of Lick Street. This includes one grove of trees south of the end of Stevens Street, with several tree tops snapped off. The tornado then traversed an uninhabited area but minor tree damage was noted near the intersection of Bales Road and County Road 175. In addition, small pieces of insulation were found near this intersection and in the field to the east. This is where the tornado ended.

20:32Z EF1 KBGM PA Luzerne Tank A tornado touched down just north of Interstate 80 along Nescopeck|Creek. A narrow alley of numerous downed or snapped trees occurred,|roughly following Overlook Road and then West Hollow Road, where|a convergent and at times oppositional tree pattern was observed. |The tornado departed West Hollow Road only to reemerge crossing |Route 93, where a few hundred small apple trees were pushed over in|an orchard, and a front porch roof was lifted up and over a house, |while peeling back a portion of the primary roof of the residence. |A large tree top was also lofted, and thrown to Zenith Road, to the |left of the tornado path. The tornado intensified while moving along |Hobbie Road, with numerous large trunk snaps, including several trees |damaging a residence with a destroyed shed. The yard had several |missiles in the form of small branches impaling into the ground. |The tornado finally lifted shortly after, before reaching the |intersection of Hobbie Road and Wapwallopen Road.
22:05Z EF0 KBGM NY Delaware Fishs Eddy A tornado briefly touched down along the south shore of the East Branch Delaware River near Fishs Eddy causing damage to trees. An eyewitness reported seeing his 75-100 foot hemlock tree twist and snap off about halfway up the trunk. Another eyewitness captured video of a rotating wall cloud in the general vicinity of this |area of damage. The tornado crossed O&W Road, proceeding uphill causing further damage to some trees in the forest and powerlines along Hubbell Hill Road. Due to extremely steep terrain, the evidence of further tornado damage was unobtainable through these wooded areas. Additional tree damage was observed at the intersection of O&W Road and Halls Island Road to the southeast of East Branch. The tornado is believed to have skipped through the mountainous area before lifting over the Beaver Kill. No further damage was noted or reported across the river toward Baxter Mountain.
23:33Z EF1 KRLX OH Athens Athens An EF1 tornado with maximum winds up to 100 mph touched down near Angel Ridge Road in Athens County. The tornado tracked east-northeast crossing Gura Road, Long Run Road, and North Coolville Ridge Road before lifting just past Kincade Road. Damage was limited to snapped and uprooted trees and some snapped power poles along the path, with the worst damage occurring in a 300 yard wide swath along Long Run Road. This is the seventh documented tornado in Athens County and the first since 2018.
00:08Z EF1 KPBZ PA Washington Pleasant Grove The National Weather Service in Pittsburgh conducted a storm|survey and concluded the damage was consistent with an EF-1 tornado. |Tornado damage began along Valley View Road in East Finley township. |An intermittent, and extremely narrow damage path continued along |Cracraft Road where an attached patio roof was taken off along with |part of the roof to the main residence. Additional snapped |or uprooted trees were observed further east along the |street at a neighboring residense. The most significant damage |occurred just past the midpoint of the tornado track, along the west |side of PA Route 221 where a cluster of approximately 30 pine trees |were all snapped near the base up to approximately 1/3rd of the way |up the trees, consistent with a high end EF1 rating. Additional |damage was noted along PA 18 to a township shed and outbuilding. |This was the end of the observed damage track, with beginning and |end concident with a well-defined gate-to-gate velocity couplet and |hook echo present from the Pittsburgh Doppler Radar. Length and |times of this tornado have been updated based on the additional |damage obtained since yesterday's initial survey. The very narrow |width to this tornado is further supported by video of the event |provided to the National Weather Service via social media.
