Two Tornadoes Touch Down in North Jersey | Newark News

Two confirmed tornadoes touched down in North Jersey after severe weather swept through Tuesday, with official touchdowns reported in Parsippany-Troy Hills and Stanhope. Crews are now assessing damage and assigning EF ratings, while a third possible tornado near Cape May Point remains under investigation. Social media buzzed with videos of funnel clouds and spinning storms across Morris and Essex counties, with downed trees and power outages reported—especially along Route 206 in Sussex—but no injuries. In Stanhope, trees toppled power lines and sparked fires; in Morris County, emergency dispatchers witnessed the storm’s rotation firsthand. About a thousand customers lost power, but all were safely restored. As of Wednesday morning, EF ratings were pending, with survey teams heading to Stanhope, Parsippany, Mendham, and Morristown. The Cape May Point storm, though scattered in damage, may have dissipated quickly after landfall. More details are expected soon.
