Tornado Hits Columbia with Force | Harrisburg News

A powerful EF-1 tornado slammed into Columbia Thursday evening, packing 100 mph winds and a 100-yard width—far from a minor gust. It tore through neighborhoods starting near Walnut and Fourth Streets, crossed a railway, and vanished on Richland Drive, leaving a trail of destruction: brick walls toppled, roofs ripped off—including one at a firehouse—and trees snapped or uprooted across Manor Street and Furnace Avenue. A sobering reminder that nature’s fury can strike in an instant, even on a routine Thursday. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
