NWS to survey tornado damage after severe storms blow through New Jersey
At least eight tornadoes were reported across five states, including New Jersey.
CAPE MAY, N.J. (WPVI) -- There is more cleanup to begin after yet another round of severe weather this summer.
The New Jersey coast and points south were some of the hardest hit, this time, with winds toppling trees and spawning waterspouts at sea.
At least eight tornadoes were reported across five states, including New Jersey.
The National Weather Service will conduct damage surveys on Wednesday.
Preliminarily, the NWS says damage from the Cape May Point tornado was sporadic, with the tornado likely dissipating not long after it came ashore.
Videos obtained by Action News captured the waterspout in the Delaware Bay.
Bob Mullins recorded the waterspout around 5:47 p.m. from Lewes Beach in Delaware while looking northwest across the bay.
Ella Rossi and Quinn Patton also captured similar videos while aboard the Cape May-Lewes Ferry.
No injuries were reported.
Officials will also be in Morris County, New Jersey, to survey two other tornado reports.
One reported tornado was spotted shortly after 2 p.m. near Stanhope, close to the Morris-Sussex county border, according to our sister station WABC.
Another cloud was seen swirling near the ground around 2:45 p.m. near a golf center roughly a mile north of the Troy Hills area, WABC reported.
The tornado reports have not been officially confirmed by the National Weather Service and officials are expected to release their findings later Tuesday.
The severe weather impacted thousands of flights at major hubs on Tuesday, including at Philadelphia International Airport.
The disruptions linger into Wednesday.
There are already 41 cancellations and 23 delays at PHL.
Travelers are being urged to call ahead to check on their flight status.
More severe weather could move through the Philadelphia region again on Wednesday.
The severe thunderstorm risk shifts to mainly south and east of the I-95 urban corridor, according to the National Weather Service. While the risk is much lower than Tuesday, isolated severe thunderstorms with damaging winds are possible Wednesday afternoon.
Authorities are also investigating a possible lightning strike as the cause of a house fire at the Jersey Shore.
The Action Cam was on the 100 block of 61st Street in Avalon just after 6 p.m. on Tuesday.
Flames caused damage to the roof and chimney.
It is unclear if anyone was home.
Crews did not report any injuries.
