0602 PM     Tornado          Hazlettville            39.12N 75.64W
08/20/2026                   Kent               DE   NWS Storm Survey

            A brief tornado occurred just east of the
            community of Hazlettville, primarily
            impacting a farm and adjacent fields along
            Bryants Corner Road. The tornado began in a
            field just east of a residential area,
            evidenced by somewhat discontinuous swirl
            marks through a corn field. The tornado
            moved east-northeastward toward a group of
            chicken houses and an open air barn. In this
            area, the tornado removed nearly half of the
            barns metal roof panels, which was the most
            significant damage the tornado caused with
            estimated winds up to 80 mph. The tornado
            also caused some minor damage to the chicken
            houses metal roofs and a row of solar
            panels affixed to the ground nearby. The
            tornado continued northeast across another
            pair of corn fields, just south of a
            residence, then ended just before reaching
            Bryants Corner Road.
