Location: EQUINUNK
Tornado F-scale: F1
Property damage: 10K
Reported by: NWS STORM SURVEY

The tornado initially touched down across the Delaware River from Lordville, New York which is 1 mile northeast of Equinunk, Pennsylvania.  The tornado then traveled east until it lifted out of the river valley approximately a mile and a half downstream or east of Lordville at Bouchoux Brook.  The damage path was approximately a quarter mile wide.  Tornado damage was evident on both sides of the river.  In the vicinity of the touchdown, there was also considerable straight line wind damage.  Hundreds of trees were blown down in Pennsylvania in the area of the tornado touchdown.  This seemed to be from both the tornado and straight line winds.  One person in Lordville received minor injuries when his mobile home  overturned.  Most other structural damage was a result of trees falling on homes, most of which occurred in New York.  The damage is consistent with a strong F0 or weak F1 tornado.
Strong gradient winds sustained at about 35 knots were enhanced for a short while and destroyed a 90 foot by 24 foot shed constructed of 10 inch by 10 inch posts.  The structure was ripped from the foundation bolts, lifted about 25 feet into the air and thrown about 80 feet into a hillside.  There were two eyewitnesses to the event.
