Yeah, they classified it as an EF2 with 120 mph winds, only 15 mph off of EF3. There was also an EF1 in Maryland, another EF2 in New Jersey, and an EF0 in New York. There were also two separate tornado warnings in Virginia, though nothing touched-down. One or two tornadoes I'd say ok, but 4 tornadoes, two of which were EF2, over that stretch of territory when they had it at a 5% probability, I think they should've issued a watch. I will say that they're doing fine today though.

I live in East Stroudsburg, PA and when I heard about the Tornado I was completely shocked, since we don't get them very often because of the mountains. My prayers and best wishes go out to everyone affected by this <33
