Tornado warnings were issued for roughly three quarters of New Jersey counties Thursday after thunderstorms brought severe weather, hail and a chance of flooding into the Northeast.

A “large and dangerous tornado” was confirmed in Bucks County, Pennsylvania moving toward Trenton, New Jersey around 7 p.m., according to Lauren Casey, a meteorologist for CBS 3 in Philadelphia.

It struck after thunderstorms had moved into the region Thursday evening.

At least one other tornado was reported in Bensalem, Penn. Video shared to Twitter shows what appears to be a battered parking lot in its wake, with torn off rooftops and crumbled walls as well as rain-soaked debris at a decimated car dealership.

Warnings were in effect for Levittown and Croydon in Pennsylvania as well as Burlington, Shrewsbury, Robbinsville, Allentown, Hamilton Square, White Horse, and Twin Rivers in New Jersey until 7:30 p.m., according to the national weather service.
