BURLINGTON COUNTY, NJ — Around 1,300 emergency dispatches for police, fire, or EMS throughout Burlington County went out in the hours surrounding Thursday's tornado, officials said.
Between 2 p.m. on Thursday and 7 a.m. on Friday, there were 1,662 total emergency and non-emergency calls.
According to the county, this is close to a typical volume regardless of the confirmed tornado that formed around the Chesterfield area.
No serious injuries were reported and property damage "appears manageable," added Commissioner Deputy Director Allison Eckel, liaison to the County Department of Public Safety.
Thursday's storm produced the county's 10th confirmed tornado over the last 22 years. None of these have reached a classification over EF1.
The National Weather Service is still surveying the impacts of the storm and has not confirmed its level as of yet.
Cleanup was anticipated to be completed Friday along roads that were impacted due to downed trees and other weather-related acts.
