A tornado may have touched down in Beach Lake, Wayne County, Friday night. Officials with the National Weather Service are expected in Wayne County Saturday after the region was bombarded by a fast-moving storm Friday night. The tornado may have hit PL Transmissions in Beach Lake, where several buildings and trees were destroyed. The storm whipped through Honesdale, bringing severe thunder and lightning, flash flooding Friday evening and a tornado watch for the region. People who were participating in the Sidewalk Sales event in downtown Honesdale scattered right before the storm hit. In a 20-minute bombardment, the storm flooded roads around 8th Street, where The Wayne Independent is located, and on Main Street, where cars drove through pockets full of flooding. Tents from the Sidewalk Sales were knocked over and limbs from trees were knocked off.
