Yes, of course, there are tornadoes in Pennsylvania. The most-recent severe outbreak occurred in 1985 when a system of tornadoes developed near Albion in northwest Pennsylvania and tracked across the state. Forty-seven confirmed tornadoes were associated with this outbreak, and there were numerous injuries and deaths before the system weakened in north-central and southeastern PA.
