0602 PM     Tornado          Hazlettville            39.12N 75.64W
08/20/2026                   Kent               DE   NWS Storm Survey 

            A brief tornado occurred just east of the 
            community of Hazlettville, primarily 
            impacting a farm and adjacent fields along 
            Bryants Corner Road. The tornado began in a 
            field just east of a residential area, 
            evidenced by somewhat discontinuous swirl 
            marks through a corn field. The tornado 
            moved east-northeastward toward a group of 
            chicken houses and an open air barn. In this 
            area, the tornado removed nearly half of the 
            barn’s metal roof panels, which was the most 
            significant damage the tornado caused with 
            estimated winds up to 80 mph. The tornado 
            also caused some minor damage to the chicken 
            houses’ metal roofs and a row of solar 
            panels affixed to the ground nearby. The 
            tornado continued northeast across another 
            pair of corn fields, just south of a 
            residence, then ended just before reaching 
            Bryants Corner Road.
