Event Narrative: Staff from NOAA's National Weather Service Baltimore/Washington Weather|Forecast Office located in Sterling, VA performed a survey of |storm damage that occurred in the Town of Leesburg, VA on the |morning of February 7, 2020. This survey, coupled with radar |analysis from the KLWX WSR-88D and the FAA's TIAD Terminal Doppler|Weather Radar, concluded that a tornado rated EF0 on the Enhanced|Fujita Scale impacted the Town of Leesburg between 7:20 AM EST |and 7:23 AM EST. The tornado had a path length of 3.3 miles |producing intermittent damage, with a path width of up to 250 |yards. The tornado was moving northeast at approximately 60 mph.||The first damage was reported in the Greenway Farm and Linden Hill|subdivision in SW Leesburg. Here numerous large tree limbs were |downed along with several trees completely uprooted. The damage |was determined to be concentrated between Lawford Drive and |Nickels Drive in a wooded area, and also along Governors Drive and|Country Club Drive. TIAD radar was showing a rotational signature|beginning at 7:20 AM in these locations. Wind gusts in this area |were estimated to be 65 MPH from radar analysis and damage |indicators.||The tornado then lifted over Route 7, with just some minor tree |damage noted in the 800 block of Davis Court SE. The historic |downtown portion of the Town of Leesburg, near King and Market |Streets, was spared with just minimal damage. The only noteworthy|damage that was observed was tree damage along Monroe Street.||As the tornado moved into NE Leesburg, both the radar and the |storm survey indicated that it became much stronger. Two areas of |widespread, concentrated tree damage were found. The first one |was in the vicinity of Lounsberry Road NE and the Exeter |Subdivision; which are north of Edwards Ferry Road and south of |Battlefield Parkway NE. A townhome on Ginger Square NE had its |siding and underlayment completely peeled off, exposing it's roof|trusses. Many homes along Marshall Drive NE also had roofing |damage, along with trees uprooted and large branches downed. One |house had lawn furniture lifted and blown in the opposite |direction of the way the trees were fallen and debris was |plastered on cars and homes. Damage was noted spanning the 500 and|600 blocks of Marshall Drive NE, which supports the damage width |estimate of 250 yards.| |The other area of concentrated wind damage was north of |Battlefield Parkway NE, in and around the Fieldstone Apartment |complex. Here, fifteen to twenty 1.5-2.0 foot diameter pines were |uprooted. Of special note was a line of 5 large pine trees in the|easternmost portion of the apartment complex which were uprooted |and which fell onto two unoccupied vehicles. Several of these |trees did fall in a convergent pattern. Additional large pine |trees were uprooted along the US Route 15 Leesburg Bypass near its|intersection with Battlefield Parkway NE.||Analysis from TIAD radar showed velocity measurements up to 77 |knots at approximately 210 feet above ground level as the tornado |was in the vicinity of the Fieldstone Apartments. Taking into |account some decrease in the wind's magnitude as it got closer to |ground level, along with the damage indicated in and around the |Fieldstone Apartments, corroborates estimated wind gusts of up to |85 mph.||The NWS Baltimore/Washington Weather Forecast Office thanks the |Loudoun County Office of Emergency Management with providing |information supporting the storm survey.
