The National Weather Service has announced that the EF2 tornado that touched down in the Laurel area also caused damage from Harbeson to Broadkill Beach, including Carpenter Road in Harbeson. “Sporatic damage occurred over the remainder of the path, and the tornado may not have been on the ground continuously,” an NWS press release states. Damage was also observed on Shay Lane, where a section of a barn roof blew off, and South Bay Shore Drive. Beyond Broadkill Beach, the twister moved offshore, the release states.

The National Weather Service says it was a tornado that took off a section of the roof and siding of the house. The property is located in the middle of a large farm field.
