Power Outage in Burlington, NJ

After cycling from an earlier tornado near Mullica Hill, NJ, a |supercell thunderstorm produced an additional tornado in |Burlington Township, NJ near the township line with Edgewater |Park, NJ. Some evidence of RFD winds was prevalent southward |through the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Edgewater Park with one |pine tree being uprooted and several small branches being brought |down all the way south to Pennington Park in Delanco Township, |NJ,but damage was too sparse to be noted as tornadic. As the |tornado touched down, numerous hard and softwood trees were |uprooted along Jennifer Lane in a neighborhood just off of Beverly|Road in Burlington Township. A large branch was also brought down|on a vehicle at the intersection of Jennifer Lane and Squire Way.|Nearby, a pine tree was brought down, breaking a window to a |residence further west on Jennifer Lane with a small Sycamore tree|also being snapped at the base a few houses down the road. ||As the tornado crossed Shive Place and Handler Drive, several |trees were snapped and large branches brought down. Soffit damage |was also observed to a couple of homes nearby. Perhaps the most |impressive damage was observed along Beverly Road near the |intersection with Handler Drive where resident noted that nearly |thirty trees were either uprooted or snapped. Observations seemed |to agree with that statement with crews working to repair downed |power lines as well.||The tornado then proceeded towards the Delaware River as it took |a slight turn towards the north. With only a steel and power plant|lying beneath it-these two structurally sound facilities did not |appear to sustain any visible damage despite a rather impressive |viral Tweet with a video of the tornado passing across the |Burlington-Bristol Bridge. Driving across the bridge for this very|survey, no damage was noted given the structural integrity of the|feature. The tornado continued into Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
