The National Weather Service on Tuesday visited sites in Greene and Washington counties and West Virginia, where it confirmed that two separate tornadoes touched down Monday night.

Fayette County, however, managed to avoid damage from the severe storm that passed through Southwestern Pennsylvania and the northern panhandle of West Virginia.

The weather service had considered visiting Fayette County on Wednesday, but there was not enough evidence of damage to merit an investigation, the weather service said.

A severe thunderstorm warning and a tornado warning had been issued in Fayette County Monday night, but the Fayette County Emergency Management Agency said Tuesday that only a few fallen trees were reported throughout the county.
