| Episode Narrative | Thunderstorms over the northern Virginia and Maryland Piedmont expanded northward into the ridge-valley region in south-central Pennsylvania during the evening. These storms were located within a conveyor of strong/moist southerly deep-layer flow. A convective environment characterized by weak instability, high surface dewpoints/low LCLs and strong low-level shear fostered a brief/weak EF0 tornado near Lock Haven in Clinton County. Isolated/localized wind damage also occurred within a few low-topped bowing segments. |
| Event Narrative | The National Weather Service in State College confirmed an EF0 Tornado near Lock Haven in Clinton County Pennsylvania on May 15, 2014. The EF0 tornado touched down near the southern-most point of Race Street just southwest of the William T. Piper Memorial Airport. The weak tornado pealed back a portion of a roof of a warehouse and partially lifted the roof, allowing portions of an exterior wall to collapse outward. The tornado traveled northward along Racy Street, toppling a chimney and lifting a carport and throwing it 25 yards into another house. The tornado then turned to the northeast and crossed Route 15, knocking over several large trees and snapping a number of large limbs. The tornado dissipated near East Water Street between Race street and Clark Barn Road. The tornado was rated an EF0 tornado with maximum winds around 75 mph. There were no injuries or deaths. |
