The cyclone was rated an EF-1 on the Enhance Fujita Scale, meaning winds reached between 86 and 110 miles per hour in a three-second gust.
Nearby in Bradford County, a "microburst" unleashed winds up to 90 miles per hour near the New York border, NWS said. In Athens Township, some softwood trees were uprooted, some residents experience power outages, and the roof of an modular home was lifted away, meteorologists said.
