Tornado

The National Weather Service has rated Saturday's tornado in Sussex County as an EF-3, tying it with a 1961 tornado in New Castle County as the strongest in Delaware history.

The Sussex tornado is also the first deadly tornado in Delaware since a Kent County tornado in 1983. One man was unfortunately killed over the weekend after his house collapsed from the vicious winds of the storm.
