Location: CROSSWICKS
Tornado F-scale: EF1
Reported by: NWS Storm Survey

After a straight line wind event upstream toward Bordentown along Ward Avenue, a QLCS tornado developed in the village of Crosswicks around 7:08 PM EDT. Much of the damage in Crosswicks was primarily tree damage with numerous trees uprooted or snapped. Additional straight line wind damage occurred south of the village that was not directly related to the tornadic circulation. The tornado moved east out of the village just north of Ellisdale Road where fairly significant tree damage continued on
residential properties. The tornado moved into an inaccessible wooded area along Crosswicks Creek where it crossed into Hamilton Twp in Mercer County. It emerged along a tree line near the back of the Sawmill YMCA property where it continued east toward the intersection of Sawmill Road and Iron Bridge Road. Near this intersection, several trees were uprooted.
The tornado continued east along Sawmill Road toward Extonville Road where additional trees were uprooted. The tornado dissipated in a field around 7:11 PM EDT east of Extonville Road where it crossed just over the Monmouth County boarder into Upper Freehold Twp. No additional tornadic damage was observed east of this field across Ellisdale Road until the next tornado began near Walnford Road.

Location: HYSON
Tornado F-scale: EF2
Reported by: NWS Storm Survey

A tornado formed along an eastward moving rotating supercell within a line of thunderstorms and made an initial touchdown on the north side of Palomino Drive. A 100 yard wide path of dozens of large hardwood and softwood trees were snapped or uprooted in a convergent east to northeast pattern between the north side of
Palomino Drive and the high tension powerlines paralleling to the north. In addition to the extensive tree damage, numerous fences were demolished with moderate roof and shingle damage to houses on the north side of Palomino Drive. The path of tree damage continued east southeast, across N New Prospect Rd, and along the north and northeast periphery of the newly built Paragon apartment complex. The degree of tree and home damage is consistent with winds of 100-120 mph.
The tornado continued east southeast down to the intersection of Larsen Road and Maplewood Place. Several large hard and soft wood trees were snapped or uprooted in a convergent pattern, and power poles downed, on either side of Larsen at this intersection. The tornado tracked east southeast across the residences along the
east side of Maplewood and the northeast section of Dogwood Rd, with about a 150 yd width path of dozens of large trees snapped or uprooted in a convergent pattern, power poles downed or snapped, fences demolished, and sheds flipped or moved. Despite the
significant tree damage, generally only minor siding and roof shingle damage was noted. This damage was consistent with EF1 winds of 90 to 110 mph. The tornado likely moved southeast from here across a shallow NE to SW cleared valley area along the Monmouth/Ocean county border with transmission lines running through. No damage was noted to the transmission lines or the metal truss towers.
The tornado then likely strengthened to its greatest intensity as it continued east southeast from the clearing to the residences on the southwest corner of Spicy Pond Rd. Numerous large trees snapped or uprooted in a 300 yd long and 150 yd wide
convergent pattern, fences demolished, and several houses having minor to moderate siding, gutter, awning, deck and roof shingle damage. The worst damage occurred to a house facing to the southwest on the southwest corner of Spicy Pond Road, whose whole roof was lifted and tossed into their backyard and immediate neighbor backyards. Some of the debris, including a larger roof rafter was lofted about 125 yards, impaling the roof and second floor of a house on the east side of Addison Road. In addition, some siding from the house was impaled into the siding of the neighboring house to the north, with insulation and siding debris littering the neighborhood for about 200 yds to to the east southeast. Based on the degree of damage and construction this was determined to be EF2 wind damage of 110-120 mph. The tornado
likely quickly occluded after passing Addison Rd, ending its short path.

Based on the degree of damage and construction this was determined to be EF2 wind damage of 110-120 mph. The tornado
likely quickly occluded after passing Addison Rd, ending its short path.

A tornado formed along a line of thunderstorms and made initial touchdown in Cinnaminson, NJ, near the intersection of Riverton Road and Woodside Lane where multiple trees were snapped and uprooted. It then traveled east-southeast towards Cinnaminson High School and Eleanor Rush Intermediate School, where the damage
path expanded to around 0.3 miles wide or about 520 yards, spreading across much of the surrounding neighborhood where numerous trees were reported down. The strongest wind damage occurred near the intersection of Wynwood Drive and Locust Lane where a majority of the roof covering was peeled off a single-family home. The tornado continued east-southeast across US HWY 130 into Lakeview Memorial Park where a large swath of softwood trees were either uprooted or snapped at the trunk. Continuing east-southeast, the damage path continued through the neighborhoods surrounding New Albany Road and Endicott Ave, moving towards the communities near Ravenswood Park, uprooting and snapping multiple trees. The tornado then crossed Haines Mill Road in Delran where it grew to its greatest width of approximately
0.3 miles or 600 yards. After persisting east-southeast and crossing Bridgeboro Road, it likely pushed through Esther Yanai Preserve where the damage path was lost due to lack of road networks in the preserve. Minor tree and limb damage was observed again near John Pryor Field in Moorestown. More widespread damage was then found near the intersection of Hartford Road and Worthington Drive with multiple softwood trees uprooted or snapped. The wide swath of tree damage continued over to Dominion
Drive with numerous trees uprooted or snapped and left leaning on utility lines along Borton Landing Road. It is likely at this point the tornado began to occlude and wrap up. Additional snapped branches and minor damage to veneers and siding was found along a narrow strip of Country Club Drive in the Laurel Creek Country Club neighborhood. The tornado then caused minor damage to some roof shingles on a home on Augusta Drive before snapping the top of one final utility pole on Centerton Road.

A new QLCS tornado developed just west of a neighborhood on Walnford Road southeast of Allentown. The most significant damage from the tornado occurred to properties within the neighborhood, especially those along an open field to the southeast. The tornado was also near its widest point in this area. Numerous trees were uprooted or snapped within the neighborhood. A few homes sustained removal of roofing material, siding removal, windows blown out, and a couple garage doors blown out. Damage in this area was consistent with wind speeds estimated to be near 110 mph. An irrigation pivot was blown into a fence separating the neighborhood and the field where it was toppled over, partially into some residential yards.
The tornado continued eastward across the field toward Allentown Davis Station Road where another shorter irrigation pivot was overturned. Along the road, several trees were snapped or uprooted near and northwest of the intersection with Polhemustown Road and Holmesmill Road. A wooden power pole was also leaning in the direction of the tornado's motion. The tornado continued east along Allentown Davis Station Road where more mainly minor tree damage occurred. At the traffic circle intersection with Sharon Station Road, several road signs were blown down in various directions. The tornado moved east-southeastward into a field just south of a farmstead and north of Davis Station Road. The tornado entered another wooded residential area near the intersection of Davis Station Road ans Harvey Road where more significant tree damage occurred and the tornadic circulation widened. The tornado moved east across Meirs Road where numerous trees were snapped or uprooted on residential properties, once of which fell onto power lines. The tornado moved east toward a residential neighborhood along Long Acre Drive where some additional tree damage occurred. The
tornado moved east of the residential area across a tree line and then dissipated in an open field along Emleys Hill-Prospertown Road.

A tornado formed from along an eastward moving rotating supercell within a line of thunderstorms and made initial touchdown near Patterson road, off of West Commodore Road, in Jackson Township and continued east for approximately a 3/4 mile long and 200 yard width path across the residences on the north side of Stonehenge Ct and along West Commodore Blvd, before going across the residences and businesses across Wright Debow and Hamilton Rd. Dozens of large hardwood and softwood trees were snapped or uprooted in a convergent pattern, power poles downed or snapped, fences demolished, and sheds, small outbuildings, and dumpsters flipped or moved. Despite the significant tree damage, generally only minor siding and roof shingle damage was noted. This damage was consistent with EF1 winds of 90 to 110 mph.
The tornado then likely strengthened to its greatest intensity as it continued east, across a cleared and paved area, to a newly built large warehouse development. The southern half of the warehouse, made up of several 3 story concrete pre-fab tilt-up
walls, both on the east and west side, tied together with metal roofing system above, collapsed in an eastward direction. Based on the degree of damage and construction this was determined to be high end EF2 winds of 120 to 130 mph. In addition dozens of hard and soft wood trees on the south and southeast side of the building and east side parking lot were uprooted or trunks snapped laying in a E/NE direction.
The tornado continued on, now in an east southeast direction, for about 3/4 mile with about 200 yd path width, just north of GasTime, across Diamond Road and back along West Commodore road, and into the residences around Indiero Lane and Oaktree Lanes. The most extensive tree and powerline damage was seen along West Commodore Road, with hundreds of mature hard and soft wood trees uprooted or snapped in a convergent pattern, numerous power poles downed or snapped, as well as roofing and insulation debris from the warehouse being littered along the way. The tree damage along part of West Commodore Road was consistent with winds of 100 to 120 mph. The tornado appeared to be weakening to EF0 as it entered the residences around Indiero Lane and Oaktree Lanes, south of West Commodore, with the tree damage path becoming scattered and narrowing to 100 yards, and only minor siding and roof shingle damage noted. The tornado likely occluded just before reaching the
Land O Pines Mobile Home Park, where the tornado path ended.

A tornado formed from an east southeast moving rotating supercell within a line of thunderstorms and made a brief touchdown on the National Guard Training Center Grounds in Sea Girt, NJ.
The tornado likely developed over Stockton Lake and tracked east southeast over the New Jersey Youth Challenge Academy. The entire half dome, wood frame, shingled roof of the southwest facing  academy building, about 25 yards wide and 50 yards long, was
lifted and thrown eastward. The debris was lofted and strewn for about 250 yards to the east northeast in a tapering, semi-circled debris drag marks and layout pattern. In addition one tree was uprooted and laid in an east northeast direction. The tornado
likely lifted as it tracked east across the parking lot and open grass fields. Based on the degree of damage and construction this was determined to be EF2 wind damage of 110- 120 mph, with debris and downed tree pattern indicative of a tornado.
Isolated large tree damage was noted upstream of the National Guard Training Center starting at the corner of Sea Girt Ave and Route 35, working east southeast down Sea Girt Avenue, across the intersection of Atlantic and Broad Street, to Pearce Avenue and
behind Manasquan Fire Department. There is not enough evidence in the damage indicators to classify as part of the tornado track, and so more likely associated with a narrow developing rear flank downdraft of 70-80 mph, that shortly later lead to tornado
formation over Stockton Lake. A couple of other notable impacts, 400 yards to the north of the New Jersey Youth Challenge Academy building, a couple of bleachers were pushed about 40 yards east northeast from their starting position across the Athletic field. Once again, not enough supporting evidence for this being a separate EF0 tornado, but instead, more likely due to straight line winds or gustnado of 70 to 80 mph winds.
Finally, a small bleacher was overturned at the Manasquan Little League Fields, about 600 yards southeast of New Jersey Youth Challenge Academy and right before the ocean beachfront, again consistent with straight line winds of 70 to 80 mph. For
reference, the Sea Girt observing site measured a similar 71 mph gust at this time.

A tornado formed along a line of thunderstorms and made an initial touchdown just east of Llewellyn Avenue and south of US HWY 40 in the Richland section of Buena Vista Township. This was a heavily forested area with large branches snapped. The tornado continued east, moving parallel to Landis Avenue, and into Mays Landing. As it
moved into Mays Landing, the tornado produced its strongest wind damage, where a roof was partially lifted off a single-family home.  Numerous trees on the property had large branches broken, with an area of uprooted trees just to the east of the home.
The tornado continued to progress eastward along Landis Avenue, with large amounts of uprooted trees, snapped trunks, and broken branches. Damage remained mainly confined to the north side of the road. The tornado then crossed Estelle Avenue, where broken branches and snapped trunks continued for about another 200 yards into the
densely forested area.
