UPPER SAUCON TWP (Pa.) – According to the National Weather Service, it was straight-line wind, and not tornadoes that split trees on Monday.
A survey team visited the Lehigh Valley Tuesday and released its findings Wednesday evening. Some communities were still picking up the pieces 48-hours later.
The weather service reported that on Wednesday evening, an EF-1 Tornado touched down near Bethlehem’s Union Boulevard in Midway Manor.
According to the Weather Service, several trees had fallen along Calvert Place and especially near Afton village of Upper Saucon.
Afton village was littered with branches as trees fell across the land. A few of them leaned up against the two-story house. One person smashed the corner of a window.
The weather service reported that peak winds reached speeds of 90-100 mph in Saucon Valley, uprooting or snapping trees by their trunks.

Upper Saucon Valley Road is closed between Route 378 and Route 378.
Lower Saucon, along Bingen Road was home to uprooted trees and damaged ones.
