Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date opens the federal record of that event.
| When | Event | Place named | Harm | What the report says |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| April 2024 | Tornado (EF0) | Reynoldsville | $40,000 | Straight line winds pushed through Mount Pleasant Road from west to east, resulting in damage to structures on both the north and south side of this mobile home. However, the mobile home, which set in the middle of the damage, showed signs of rotation as the system moved through, indicative of a quick spin-up tornado. All damage that was viewed downstream by the survey team seemed to be more in line with straight-line winds as well, so this was likely a very quick spin-up. There was a lack of structures behind this mobile home, and a lack of damage across the street to the east of this home. It matched up well with one of the tighter circulations that went through the area. The mobile home itself was hit from the backside, lifting off the roof on the back half of the house. Siding was torn off on all sides. The front of the house's roofline was a bit rotted, but lost it's flashing. Insulation and mud was plastered along the front side. Meanwhile, more mud and insulation was plastered all through the inside of the house as well. |
| October 2022 | Thunderstorm Wind | Reynoldsville | $40,000 | Multiple barns and farm structures (corn crib bin and chicken coop) were damaged or destroyed due to thunderstorm winds. NWS Storm Survey results noted that the small buildings were light and not well anchored down, that the metal pole barn was open on the ends, and that the stick-built barn was old and also had a door open - allowing winds to get inside. All damage was laying uniformly towards the ENE. |
| April 2024 | Thunderstorm Wind | Reynoldsville | $25,000 | Farm sustained heavy wind damage along W Hwy-60. An open air barn collapsed. Metal roof from the barn was thrown southward and eastward about 200-300 yards across fields. Multiple Bradford Pear trees were also broken, and several other sheds were damaged. |
| April 2024 | Thunderstorm Wind | Reynoldsville | $25,000 | House sustained damage along Mt. Pleasant Road just north of Reynoldsville. The house was located on the northside of a spin-up tornado. Two sheds behind the house collapsed and were thrown ENE, with contents and metal roofing littering the yard and across the street to the east. The southeast corner of the house also was missing roofing material off the porch, and the south-side of the porch was ripped off. Owners also reported that some of the windows bowed in, likely due to the nearby tornado. |
| October 2022 | Thunderstorm Wind | Reynoldsville | $25,000 | Thunderstorm winds led to the destruction of 2 barns on a private property. The barns were old, and were not anchored down to the ground. One barn was moved off its foundation by about 15 feet and collapsed. The other lost roofing material and had multiple north-facing wall panels blown off. |

| October 2022 | Thunderstorm Wind | Reynoldsville | $10,000 | A barn was moved off its foundation and lost its roof.

Remainders of the barn were through 1/8 mile in a uniform direction to the ENE. |
| October 2022 | Thunderstorm Wind | Reynoldsville | $10,000 | A peg construction barn collapsed with most debris uniformly laying towards the ENE and NE. The roof was dislodged and tossed 150 feet to the east of the barn, but the framing of the roof seemed to be rotted. The cement footers that the bar was sitting on showed no indication of being anchored to the barn - rather the weight of the barn was holding it up. |
| October 2022 | Thunderstorm Wind | Reynoldsville | $10,000 | A partial barn collapse. The walls of the barn did look to be anchored with a piece of rebarb sticking out of the concrete footers, and into a hole at the bottom of the 6x6 inch barn posts/vertical beams. No other anchoring clips were used, so wind was able to lift post off the anchor. The NWS Storm Survey Team also noted that most of the wood was dry rotted. |
