May 2024Tornado (EF0)New Hagerstown$250,000Video confirmed a brief tornado occurred beginning at the Leesville Lake South Fork Marina and continuing northeast across Leesville Lake. Rapid development was noted as a narrow, intense ground circulation appeared, tossing docks and pontoon boats. Based on the destruction of a tree in tandem with the destruction of non-DIs evident in the video and the visual of rotational speed of the ground circulation, the peak wind in this small tornado is estimated to be around 80 MPH.
