    Thankfully in terms of ranking we don't rank with tornado alley in intensity. Anything over EF3 is usually pretty rare in most of the state and slightly less rare in the western half. Still very impressive. We might be able to beat 2021 but 1998 might be hard to beat unless the fall season is very active

    You right. And thankfully that most of thse wernt long tracked tornados through urban and city areas.

  2. ** PENNSYLVANIA TORNADO COUNT 2026 **
    Pennsylvania is now up to 41 confirmed tornadoes for 2026! An EF2 tornado has been confirmed in eastern York County and an EF1 in western Lancaster County from the severe thunderstorms this past Thursday, August 20th. It has been quite the severe weather season, and we are not done yet, with strong storms expected throughout the weekend. The 41 tornadoes are the 3rd most recorded in the state, followed by 44 in 2021 and 59 in 1998.
    To put it into more perspective, Pennsylvania has seen more tornadoes than Nebraska (37) and Texas (33), and we are not far behind Kansas (44) and Oklahoma (47). How do you feel that Pennsylvania is ranking up with some of the traditional 'Tornado Alley' states?

    So I am having rotator cuff surgery in October so will not be able to do any snow/ice removal all winter. 

    Does anyone know any companies in/close to HBG I could hire to take care of my sidewalks/driveway for the season? I’ll pay good money - I’m anal about snow removal for my wife’s safety  

    @SnowPlowGuy88

    You must be anticipating a lot of winter weather coming up this season. Maybe this winter like the last few will be mostly a dud. But I do see where your coming from, concerned for the safety for your wife.

     Marginal Risk (1/5) for Severe Storms Today
    Locally severe storms could bring strong winds, heavy rain, and hail later today
     Lower confidence for our SW counties, though a shift in the Ohio Valley storm track may bring severe storms into those areas as well
