Details from NWS storm survey: A weak tornado touched down southeast of Morgantown in the 2800 section of Kingwood Pike. There was roof damage to four structures. One house lost over half its roof while others less than 20 percent of their roof was affected. A support beam to a covered porch was blown out at a residence. Meanwhile, a utility pole was ripped loose and landed on the side of a house. There were around 10 trees that were either uprooted or snapped. Special thanks to the Monongalia County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management who used their drone to help survey the damage.
