EF1 tornado in Burlington County, New Jersey

After cycling from an earlier tornado near Mullica Hill, NJ, a

supercell thunderstorm produced an additional tornado in

Burlington Township, NJ near the township line with Edgewater

Park, NJ. Some evidence of RFD winds was prevalent southward

through the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Edgewater Park with one

pine tree being uprooted and several small branches being brought

down all the way south to Pennington Park in Delanco Township,

NJ,but damage was too sparse to be noted as tornadic. As the

tornado touched down, numerous hard and softwood trees were

uprooted along Jennifer Lane in a neighborhood just off of Beverly

Road in Burlington Township. A large branch was also brought down

on a vehicle at the intersection of Jennifer Lane and Squire Way.

Nearby, a pine tree was brought down, breaking a window to a

residence further west on Jennifer Lane with a small Sycamore tree

also being snapped at the base a few houses down the road.

As the tornado crossed Shive Place and Handler Drive, several

trees were snapped and large branches brought down. Soffit damage

was also observed to a couple of homes nearby. Perhaps the most

impressive damage was observed along Beverly Road near the

intersection with Handler Drive where resident noted that nearly

thirty trees were either uprooted or snapped. Observations seemed

to agree with that statement with crews working to repair downed

power lines as well.

The tornado then proceeded towards the Delaware River as it took

a slight turn towards the north. With only a steel and power plant

lying beneath it-these two structurally sound facilities did not

appear to sustain any visible damage despite a rather impressive

viral Tweet with a video of the tornado passing across the

Burlington-Bristol Bridge. Driving across the bridge for this very

survey, no damage was noted given the structural integrity of the

feature. The tornado continued into Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

The remnants of Hurricane Ida impacted the mid-Atlantic on September 1, 2021. As it moved northward, Ida began transitioning to a strong mid-latitude cyclone with pronounced frontal features, but with continued tropical moisture. On a regional level, the remnants of Ida became one of the most severe natural disasters in US history, due to a combination of several tornadoes, some of them strong, as well as catastrophic flooding over a large and densely populated area. The severe weather threat unfolded as the system's developing warm front lifted northward from the Delmarva region into Pennsylvania and New Jersey. South of the warm front, partial clearing and moderate to strong instability developed. Meanwhile, very strong shear and forcing, along with tropical moisture, were present within the warm sector. The result was widespread convection in the form of both supercell and quasi-linear thunderstorms. A number of storms became severe across the region, producing several tornadoes and other instances of wind damage. This continued an exceptionally active stretch of high end severe weather in the region, coming barely a month after the tornado outbreak of July 29.
