            A strong downburst of winds from a severe
            thunderstorm produced significant damage
            early Friday morning. The most significant
            damage occurred in the borough of Media and
            Nether Providence Township in Delaware
            County, Pennsylvania. In Media, the most
            concentrated damage occurred to the
            northeast of downtown between east State and
            4th Streets. Several trees were snapped at
            their trunks or uprooted. A building at the
            corner of Jasper and Monroe Streets lost a
            significant amount of its roof covering. The
            damage in this area was unidirectional with
            downed trees and roof coverings pushed to
            the northeast. In Nether Providence
            Township, the most significant damage
            occurred between Providence Road and I-476,
            south of East Baltimore Pike. Several more
            trees were uprooted and snapped in this
            area, falling unidirectional towards the
            east-southeast. Additional sporadic tree
            damage was noted between the two
            concentrated areas of damage. The overall
            diverging, unidirectional pattern of the
            damage is consistent with a downburst event.
            The damage to multiple roofs as well as
            snapping of trees along their trunks leads
            to an estimated maximum wind speed of 95-105
            mph.
