NORTHEAST SLAMMED by RARE NOVEMBER TORNADOES — Delaware Twister, JFK Ground Stop, Golf Ball Hail

A November storm turned violent across the I-95 corridor on Thursday, with a confirmed tornado near Christiana Hospital in Newark, Delaware, where it snapped the rotor of a medical helicopter. It is only the third November tornado in Delaware since 1950. We go place by place: the hotel sign that crushed two cars in Newark, the tornado warning and ground stops at JFK and LaGuardia, hail piled 19 inches deep in Parkside, Pennsylvania, golf ball hail and a collapsed barn in Burlington County, New Jersey, and a foot of snow in upstate New York the same day. Survey teams from the National Weather Service are rating the tornadoes now, and colder air with mountain snow follows the storm. Figures as of Friday, November 13, 2026, 9:00 a.m. ET.
