...Summary...
The National Weather Service in Pittsburgh confirmed an EF2
tornado on June 10 2020. The damage started in the vicinity of 
Tuscarawas road then moved east north to where five power poles 
were snapped near the Shop n Save plaza. This is where the 
strongest damage was observed of the entire track. The remainder
of the track, hardwood and softwood trees were used to estimate
wind speed. 

The tornado continued northeast and caused uprooted hardwood and
softwood trees through Bradys Run Park. A lull in damage was
observed given limited access around Interstate 376 south of the 
Brighton exit. Damage picked up again in Daughtery township where 
at least 40 to 50 hardwood trees were snapped or uprooted. One 
tree that was uprooted left a six foot crater in the ground. The 
last damage was recorded just northeast of Klein Road. The path 
length may need to be adjusted pending further information from 
the Molly road area of North Sewickley Township. 

The last tornado to hit Beaver county was July 10 2017. This is
the strongest tornado to impact Beaver county since the May 31
1985 outbreak where a F4 tornado was recorded.  

We would like to say thanks to Beaver county Emergency Services
and the Daughtery Township Emergency Officials for their
assistancewith the survey.
