An EF0 tornado touched down in the Barclay Farms Subdivision in Camden with an estimated maximum wind speed of 85 mph. The tornado damaged approximately ten homes, six of them seriously and caused two injuries. Six homes were considered uninhabitable and gas lines were turned off in the development. The tornado touched down on Dawson Lane and paralleled the train tracks from south to north. Structural damage to homes occurred from Dalby Lane north through Carey Lane. The tornado lifted after it passed Carey Lane. At one home, the wind tore the roof off a garage, damaging the two cars inside and the side of the home. The owner of the house was hospitalized after he cut his hand on a piece of broken glass. A firefighter was also injured assisting another resident. About 1,200 customers of the Delaware Electric Co-Operative lost power after the tornado moved through. All service was restored by 630 p.m. EDT that evening. The tornado's path length was approximately 0.2 miles and its maximum path width was 35 yards.
