The survey confirmed that the tornado originated in Dorchester County, Maryland, and continued into Sussex County, south of Bethel. The tornado was an EF-1 with peak winds between 100 to 110 mph. The path created by the tornado was 11.4 miles, and the width of the path was 600 yards. There were no injuries or deaths associated with the twister. An EF-1 is the second-lowest level for a tornado on the Enhanced Fujita Scale, which measures tornado wind speeds based on the damage left behind.
