ood news here it's that no one was injured. lets go live to chad pradelli what is the situation there one day later? >> reporter: repairs and cleanup are now underway i'll show you the damage look at in barn behind me the roof is ripped off a temporary tarp is placed on it until a permanent roof is in place a similar scene at the home a block away. scores of damage in between and talking to people that witnessed it, and whose property was damaged it was a terrifying two and a half hours. >> jim took the brunt of the ef 1 tornado, his home and barn and roof took damage and he rents a mobile home to a woman and it was picked up and moved off its foundation. mcelhaney was not in the twister

but his tenant was. >> she experienced the trailer being picked up and tried to get out and could not. >> she was rescued and uninjured. this is cell phone video of the tornado as it moved through honey brook. >> it's like whoa, who is it going to hit next? >> he witnessed it close as it touches down and it stretched 1,000 feet in the air. >> it was not just a little vapor deal coming down it was circling. >> the national weather service determined it was an ef 1 tornado after talking to witnesses and surveying the damage and looking at the voi the cleanup is underway, and it's not as extensive as many storm. but many local amish is volunteering their time to help. >> nobody was hurt and that is the most important thing. >> yes that was a good thing considering it was a tornado. the national weather service

says that it is doing its investigation and will have final numbers once that is completed. >> thank you chad. meanwhile the same crew from the national weather service traveled to whitehall township in the lehigh valley to see if all that of damage was caused yesterday and less than five minutes ago they determined it was not a tornado but it was a micro burst. meanwhile meteorologist, cecily tynan, is at the "action news" big board. you made a point that a funnel cloud does not necessarily make a tornado, what is a micro burst and what is a tornado. >> we saw microrst is what we saw and last week a macro burst it can cause as much damage as a

torn, and straight line winds and an ef 1 tornado in honey brook, the severe thunderstorm and the tornado warning was at 2:00, that is a lot of lead time with the tornado, maximum wind is 95 miles per hour, the path was as wide as a football field is long. that is 100 yards and it stayed on the ground for is1.5 miles the distinctive signature of a tornado, the southern hook of the flank of the storm to the south and east. people are asking me how does a tornado form, it is born out of a thunderstorm intense powerful towering thunderstorms, more than 40,000 feet up called a super cell, rapidly ascending air and vertical motion but what kicks off the spin is a rear flank down draft, that is

when warmer air is pulled down from high in the atmosphere and it creates the rotation that creates the damaging winds and you get the hail and heavy rain with the tornado. first you get a wall cloud the descending cloud from the base reaching towards the ground if that wall cloud starts spinning it becomes a funnel cloud and if it touches the ground it's a tornado and that is what happened in honey brook. >> interesting stuff. thank you cecily our "action news" viewers senus loads of videos and photographs as it passed by through #6abcaction and there were reports of golf ball-size hail, and look at what gilbert photographed in his neighborhood. the dark clouds are swirling in the sky and a tornado trying to
