The wider storm

Aided by a cold front and a shortwave, a strong line of thunderstorms developed in central Ohio and quickly progressed east across western Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia. A moisture rich environment with mid to upper 60s dew points and mid 70s temperatures supported a favorable setup with MLCAPE values around 1000 J/kg and strong effective shear of 40-50 knots. Widespread swaths of wind damage were noted with 60-80 mph wind, and plenty of low level shear also supported embedded mesovortices and transient tornadoes within the line of thunderstorms.

Began near Keffer (40.1682, -79.3622).
