The cyclone emerged about 6:46 p.m. Saturday in Wrightstown Township near Swamp Road, continuing to tear down trees on the Bucks County Community College Campus.
The National Weather Service continued its busy assessment of damage Monday from the weekend’s tornado outbreak, confirming a sixth twister struck Lower Bucks County April 1 like a joke from Mother Nature gone awry as a warm, sunny evening suddenly turned threatening and dark, sending thousands of residents in the region to their basements.
The National Weather Service released the strength and path of that tornado, one of four others Saturday night that touched down from Delaware to the Shore, though no injuries were reported. The tornado registered as an EF1 , meaning winds were in the range of 86 to 110 mph as it tore through Cinnaminson, Delran and Moorestown. But high winds also ripped through Palmyra and Riverton. A 1 is the lowest rating on the scale, which goes to 5 with winds over 200 mph.
Mature trees throughout the communities were snapped like twigs and uprooted. The strongest wind damage occurred near Wynwood Drive and Locust Lanewhere most of one roof of a single family home was ripped off.
