Tornado sightings in Chester and Lehigh counties during Tuesday night’s storms are under investigation by the National Weather Service, officials there said.

Specifically, meteorologists will be looking into reports of funnel clouds in Honey Brook and West Goshen.

When tornado warnings were first issued, Malvern was one of the hotspots where residents were especially urged to take shelter.

“We know there’s wind damage and significant damage to a number of neighborhoods,”Meteorologist Walter Drag told the Philadelphia Inquirer.

The National Weather Service is expected to determine if there were tornados in Pennsylvania this afternoon, the Inquirer reported.

Robert Kagel, the Director of Emergency Services in Chester County, said officials there are looking for videos of the tornado sightings. “NWS_MountHolly investigating possible tornadoes today. If you have VIDEO of Honey Brook or West Goshen tornadoes tag@CCDES,” Kagel said via Twitter.
