An EF1 tornado that touched down in Carbon County early last week traveled a farther distance than officials originally thought.

Sarah Johnson of the National Weather Service said Tuesday evening that the Pennsylvania Civil Air Patrol completed the aerial survey and increased the tornado’s path length from 0.9 miles to 2.67 miles because “tree damage started well before the damage at the (Big Boulder) ski area.”

The tornado was reported just after 6:30 p.m. along a communications tower access road near Big Boulder Lake in Lake Harmony.

The Carbon County tornado was one of 14 tornadoes to touch down in the state on Oct. 2 during a line of strong thunderstorms that rolled through the state.

That number smashed the state’s previous October record of four tornadoes touching down, which occurred on Oct. 5, 1979.

Johnson previously said that this weather event was significant because before the Oct. 2 storms, Pennsylvania recorded a total of 13 October tornadoes since it started keeping track in 1950.

Another local EF1 tornado that touched down during the storms was in Jackson Township, Monroe County.

In addition to the tornadoes in Carbon and Monroe counties, there were three tornadoes confirmed in Westmoreland County, two in Crawford County, two in Jefferson County, two in Lackawanna County, one in Greene County, one in Warren County and one in Lycoming County.
