Tornadoes touched down in Pennsylvania and New Jersey during Monday's severe storms.

A brief EF0 tornado packing 65 mph winds touched down just before 3 p.m. Monday in Martins Creek in Northampton County, Pennsylvania, the National Weather Service announced.

That twister -- determined to be weak -- was around 60 yards wide and covered 3.37 miles before coming to an end across the Delaware River in Belvidere in Warren County, New Jersey, the weather service said.

The tornado struck as that area was under a tornado warning Monday afternoon.

Damage was limited to wheat fields and some broken branches, surveyors found.

Another twister struck in Bernardsville, Somerset County, on June 26, 2023. However, the National Weather Service didn't immediately have details about that tornado.
