    A 5th tornado from July 18, 2026 was confirmed today. The EF1 tornado was on the ground for about a mile in Burnside Township, Centre County, PA where it downed and snapped approximately 200 trees
     
    What took so long?

    Joey Schultz The location played the largest role. The damage path was in very thick forest within the Sproul State Forest and near impossible to access on foot. Figuring out if any damage occurred from the storm and then where it occurred was extremely difficult until new satellite imagery came out. When it does not have a human impact, there will be no specific reports nor quick need to fly a drone to scan endless forest for a possibility of occurrence. Then, we needed to reach out to our partners and find someone who was willing and available to fly a drone to locate the damage path based off what we had from satellite imagery.

    Good morning everyone!
    Clouds will disperse from north to south today as drier air filters in across the Commonwealth, with our southern tier of counties being the last to break out of this muggier air mass later in the day.
    A stray shower is possible during the morning and afternoon, with rain-free conditions across our area from tonight through Saturday.
    Rainfall returns on Sunday as a system tracks across the Mid-Atlantic, with periods of damp/dreary weather during the week ahead while the system lingers off the coast.
    Rainfall may be heavy at times, meaning that localized flooding could occur late this weekend & during this upcoming week, though rainfall will trend more scattered and drizzly as the week wears on.

    It's probably a fake. There are some very realistic looking artificial palms trees being made these days. I wanted to get a couple for our backyard but the wife responded with a resounding "no".

    I had a palm tree we got at a nursery in South Carolina for a few years. Kept in the house in Winter and put it out in the spring till late Fall. Lasted a number of years then died. I think roots got too big for the pot it was in. I seen on internet a few years ago people permanently planted them outside in colder climates. But you have to really insulate them good over the winter if you keep them out along with some kind of like Christmas lights on a strip that throws a little heat. I know it's still on the internet somewhere.

       I started landscaping a few weeks ago for a new client. I knew I'd heard his name before but I couldn't figure out where. Anyways it turns out he was three year starting linebacker for the Oklahoma Sooners and had a short career in the NFL before injury. Anyways, I thought that was pretty cool, but I don't share my client's names. Lol
