Confirmed tornado hits Chesterfield area as National Weather Service surveys damage and tracks its path

We are certainly grateful today that no tornadoes touched down when our phones went off with those warnings while we were driving on 195. We pulled off the exit to this deli, and when the tornado warnings happened here, this is the basement where we took shelter during the height of the storm. Feel the inflow! The air's getting sucked right into it! It was a storm that resembled something more out of the Midwest than New Jersey. While the rotation weakened as it approached our location, the hail did not. When you came in showing the radar and letting us know we got to get shelter, we got to get shelter, my first instinct was, let's go in the basement. But for the folks trapped outside driving on the road, it was another level of terror. And all of a sudden I felt the resistance on my car, yeah, and I felt the hail. I thought that it was just really heavy rain, but then all of a sudden I saw hail like bouncing off of my car, and it was violent. It was really like violent. This is why we got off the highway and found shelter because just three miles away from our location. This is what was happening in Chesterfield. Storm survey teams from the National Weather Service are investigating. Thankfully, no reports of injuries in Upper Freehold Township. Jim Murdoch News 12 New Jersey.
