A small tornado hit in West Virginia late Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service.
The tornado touched down around 11:25 p.m. near Larkmead, Wood County, just southwest of Parkersburg, according to the weather service.
The tornado was classified by the weather service at EF-0, the weakest storm on the Enhanced Fujita scale used to measure tornadoes. EF-0 tornadoes have wind speeds between 65 and 85 miles per hour. Wednesday's tornado had a maximum wind speed of 70 mph, according to the weather service.
A few buildings lost parts of their roofs to the storm, and an old cement-block building collapsed after its roof was pulled off. A few trees were blown down and a small camper was destroyed.
The tornado's path was 317 yards long, and was 25 yards wide at its widest point, according to preliminary estimates from the weather service. No one was injured in the storm.
December tornadoes in West Virginia are rare occurrences, according to the weather service. It has happened only twice before in recorded history and both were classified EF-0. The last December tornado was Dec. 8, 1978, in Putnam County. A tornado hit Preston County on Dec. 25, 1964.
"Interesting note that the Christmas 1964 tornado occurred after record highs had been recorded at many sites the previous day, much like yesterday," the weather service said on social media.
