An F1 tornado touched down in Berkeley County Thursday night as Tropical Storm Debby brought strong wind and heavy rainfall to West Virginia’s Eastern Panhandle.
The National Weather Service (NWS) confirmed Monday that a tornado with winds of 80 miles per hour traveled half a mile near the Berkeley County town of Hedgesville last week.
According to NWS, the tornado caused minor damage near a residential community roughly eight miles away from the town’s center. The tornado uprooted several trees in the area and knocked down “numerous large branches.”
NWS did not report any injuries or property damage from the tornado.
West Virginia has seen at least 19 tornadoes this year, with four months left in 2024. The state’s previous record was 15 documented in one calendar year.
