07/01/2025                   Berks              PA   NWS Storm Survey 



            A brief and weak tornado touched down on 

            Weavertown Lane in Amity Township Berks 

            County, Pennsylvania during the late 

            afternoon of July 1. Several trees had large 

            limbs broken or snapped off, some of which 

            were twisted, although these were all 

            softwood trees. At least one tree was 

            uprooted. Sporadic tree damage continued 

            down Weavertown Lane with the tornado 

            crossing Old Swede Road. The direction of 

            the damage had some variability to it. The 

            tornado may have partially lifted for a 

            time, however the visible damage ended 

            across a farm field at Boyertown Pike near 

            Camp Road where several trees were downed. 

            Given that the damage was confined to 

            softwood trees, this tornado was rated on 

            the lower end of the EF0 range with peak 

            winds to 70 mph. To the east and northeast 

            of the tornado path however, a rear-flank 

            downdraft with straight-line winds up to 70 

            mph continued toward Boyertown with 

            additional tree damage and then to the north 

            side of Gilbertsville in Montgomery County 

            where more tree damage occurred. There were 

            several other areas of wind damage in Berks 

            County, and the probable cause of this was 

            severe straight-line winds.
