Tornado Confirmed In Beaver County

WHITE TOWNSHIP, Pa. — The National Weather Service spent time Monday afternoon surveying damage left behind in White Township, Beaver County. It’s less than 10 miles from a confirmed tornado on Cannelton Road in Darlington. “We saw the skies get dark very quickly. It wasn’t even raining and the wind was whipping around. You kind of knew something was going to happen,” said Maura Watterson, who lives nearby in Patterson Township. The tornado on Cannelton Road was the second tornado from a storm that also produced a tornado in Salem, Ohio.  Alicia Miller, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Pittsburgh, said the path of that storm continued toward White Township. Right now, they’re trying to figure out if it also caused a tornado there.  “The one thing that we’re looking for is structural damage,” Miller said. “Also, whether there’s been damage to trees, power lines, and then what’s the significance of that damage? That helps us determine what the speed rating is, and also kind of gives us an idea of whether it was tornadic or not.”
