An EF1 tornado struck Uniontown, PA, on the evening of February 15, 2018. One person was injured, and 200-300 homes were damaged or destroyed along a 2.35 mile path. The photos provided in the summary, unless otherwise noted, are from the author and taken with the CalU Meteorology Club drone.
The twister developed just west of the intersection of Phillipi Avenue and Pittsburgh Road, where it stripped siding and shingles off of a few homes. As the funnel crossed Pittsburgh Road, it plowed into the Otto Brick Company. The large overhead garage door blew out, causing the roof to collapse into the office. The showroom was decimated, and the apartments upstairs were destroyed.
