EF1 tornado in Crawford County, Pennsylvania

A National Weather Service Cleveland storm survey determined that an EF-1 tornado touched down at approximately 4:51 PM EDT on Sunday, June 14, 2026, along Lippert Road, just east of the intersection with Mallory Road in Crawford County. The tornado tracked east along Lippert Road, causing significant damage to one residence, including roof damage, the loss of an attached porch, damage to four vehicles, displacement of an RV approximately 50 feet, and damage to a garage roof. An additional six homes sustained minor damage, including damage to roofs, siding, and windows. As the tornado continued east, numerous trees were blown down, blocking driveways and roadways. Several large limbs snapped and fell onto a barn and a nearby home. The tornado gradually weakened and dissipated northwest of the intersection of Lippert Road and Vincent Road. Based on the observed damage, maximum winds were estimated at 90 mph, resulting in an EF-1 rating. The tornado had an estimated maximum width of 50 yards. The National Weather Service Cleveland appreciates the assistance provided for this storm survey and thanks Crawford County EMA for their support in documenting the damage.
