Yes, A Tornado With 90-MPH Winds Did Hit New Jersey

The National Weather Service has confirmed that a tornado touched down in New Jersey during the rough storms that hit the region over the past 24 hours.

The NWS says it conducted a storm survey Friday morning for the area near Ramblewood in Mount Laurel and determined that a tornado moved through the area.

It was the fifth to hit New Jersey this year. Another tornado hit Mount Laurel just this past weekend. Read more: Stunning Videos Show Tornado Confirmed In NJ (UPDATE)

The tornado lasted from 7:18 to 7:21 p.m., according to the NWS, and was determined to be a "weak" system. But it did do some damage.

The estimated maximum wind speed was 90 mph and the tornado spanned 150 yards, moving 1.3 miles

The tornado began in a relatively open area on the Ramblewood Golf Course where tree damage and some soffit damage occurred to a home, according to the NWS. The tornado then crossed the golf course into a wooded area.

When the tornado emerged on the other side, more tree damage occurred, including a hardwood tree that snapped off onto a house, according to the NWS.

Several other trees around Yorktown Drive and Holiday Street sustained considerable damage.

The tornado then crossed Church Street into the Birchfield neighborhood, according to the NWS. A few trees were uprooted and one large pine tree was snapped about 10 feet up from the ground near Viburnum Lane and Sumac Court.

Numerous other small trees were uprooted and large hardwood trees branches were brought down in this area. A few apartment buildings sustained minor soffit and gutter damage as well.

The tornado then crossed a small lake, and then snapped a large hardwood tree near Marigold Court and Lake Drive. The tornado then lifted after uprooting a couple of softwood trees along Meadowrue Drive.

That tornado, and another confirmed twister that also struck Mount Laurel on Saturday, added intensity to what National Weather Service Meteorologist Jonathan O'Brien describes as "a very active severe weather" season in South Jersey.

"The pattern has been steady, and there have been a lot of disturbances," O'Brien said. " … But one year doesn't make a trend. For climate patterns, we like to look back over a decade or two. We get active years, and this one has been busy."
