Episode Narrative | Two separate showers very close to a stationary front each produced a landspout tornado on the afternoon of May 4. |
Event Narrative | Multiple pictures and videos showed a tornado in a rural area between Mohrsville and Shoemakersville. The storm survey concluded that the tornadic circulation began in an open field near Main Street and Shoey Road, where a line of swirl marks from ground scouring was noted for about a half mile. The circulation weakened some and became discontinuous as it progressed east toward Pottsville Pike (Route 61), crossing the Schuylkill River. A photo from social media showed the tornadic circulation crossing the highway near a railroad crossing south of Shoemakersville Road, where some minor tree damage occurred. The circulation then continued northeast, crossing Shoemakersville Road causing minor tree damage where it ended. |
