When neighbors began to help clean up the debris Thursday morning, they found pods of the building a half-mile away. Some of the gravestones were damaged too. and a small shed used to store grounds equipment for the graveyard. But the nearby bam, house and other farm buildings were not touched. Barbara said those who saw the twister at work reported the pieces of the building flew high and far. “It was in splinters,” Barbara said. “Even the metal was in small sheets. The open-front building was lifted up out of the ground, leaving the holes where the poles had been. Very little was found that could be reused.” The damage was estimated to be slo,oooto $15,000 and plans are to rebuild, this time with doors on the building. “We are very fortunate,” Barbara said. "No one was hurt, and the bam and house were not damaged. It could have been a lot worse. The National Weather Service also reported a small tornado knocked down trees, utility poles and wires in Chester County. The twister hit Coventry Township about 2:45 p.m., cutting a path 100 yards wide and a half mile long. These small tornadoes were listed in the PO to FI range, the smallest type on a scale of P 0 to FS. These types of tornadoes usually have winds from 70 to 110 mph. Eric Horst, the meteorologist at Millersvil le University, said the storms dropped up to two inches of rain in some areas. He said southeast Pennsylvania is the most likely area of the state to see tornado activity. One or two a year on the average touch down.
