USA HIT by November Tornadoes, Giant Hail and Floods from Delaware to New York

A strong nor'easter and a line of severe thunderstorms crossed the Mid-Atlantic and the Northeast on Thursday 12 November 2026. They brought tornadoes, giant hail, damaging wind and flooding from Delaware into New Jersey, Pennsylvania and the New York City area. FOX Weather counted nearly 50 storm reports, including more than 39 hail reports. The National Weather Service confirmed a tornado near Christiana Hospital in Newark, Delaware, at about 1:15 p.m. EST. It's Delaware's first documented November tornado since 1989. A hotel sign at the Sonesta ES Suites on Chapman Road came down on two cars, and ChristianaCare reported damage to its helipads and two helicopters. No one was injured. Funnels were also seen over Bellefonte and over I-495 at Edgemoor. In Burlington County, New Jersey, a barn and garage collapsed in Chesterfield, and drivers sheltered under the Bordentown toll plaza. The Weather Service's survey of that damage is still pending. The largest hail report was 1.75 inches in Burlington Township, New Jersey. In Parkside, Pennsylvania, hail piled up like snow and crews had to shovel it off the road. JFK Airport recorded 3.32 inches of rain, its second-wettest November day on record, and the road to the terminals flooded. No injuries or deaths have been reported.
