This small F0 tornado touched down around 7:30 p.m. EDT on the north side of Wagner Drive, about 3 miles north of the city of Carlisle. At the initial touchdown, an eyewitness reported seeing rain being drawn into a rotating cloud. A section of fence was blown over at the initial point and several trees were damaged nearby. At the intersection of Wagner and Cranes Gap Drive, a number of trees were uprooted, and a couple had their tops blown out. A greenhouse just east of Cranes Gap Drive had a couple of panes pulled out on the north facing side of the structure, and limbs were blown northeast out of some trees at the same farm. A tree fell on a car in the area, but the remaining damage was confined to trees.
