have confirmed that tornadic damage has occurred in the area.
The tornado path was discontinuous and started in the town of Islip
Terrace sometime between 9:20 am and 9:30 am near the intersection
of irish Lane and the north service Road of sunrise Highway. It then
continued about two-thirds of a mile to the eastnortheast across
Carleton Avenue... across Roslyn and Nassau streets and ended at
Nassau and kunigunda place. The path was narrow at first... only
around 50 yards across near the intersection of irish Lane and the
north service Road of sunrise Highway but fanned out to 150 yards
toward the end.
Most of the damage was to Hardwood trees. Twisted off branches were
evident throughout the damage path. Some trees were snapped off
halfway up... including some healthy... forty-plus foot pines.
In addition... the medical arts building at irish Lane and sunrise
Highway sustained structural damage... with significant loss of its
roof covering and the hvac unit blown off its roof. Other homes
along the damage path also sustained some minor damage mostly to
siding and some directly from trees.

with estimated wind speeds of 85 to 100 mph.
The National Weather Service had issued a Severe Thunderstorm
Warning for this storm at 849 am that was upgraded to a Tornado
Warning at 919 am. The tornado occurred in the Islip Terrace area
around the time the Tornado Warning was issued.

Paul, check Philadelphia's record. The information I have says that its record is 68°, set in 1991.
I double checked the information and the National Weather Service says Philadelphia International Airport'sOh, okay. I was just checking. I use TWC to get my record data so the information I use is likely different than what you use.
old record high temperature for February 6th was indeed 65° set in 1884.
