An intense cold front moved through Northeast Pennsylvania and Central New York during the late evening/overnight hours of the 14th into the 15th. This front eventually triggered a major squall line, which produced severe thunderstorms across the area. This squall line also produced an EF1 tornado in Harford Township in Susquehanna County and an EF0 tornado in Scranton and Dunmore in Lackawanna County. The combination of the severe thunderstorms and these tornadoes knocked down numerous trees and damaged several structures.
