Blizzard92 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 2.71in of rain with crazy flash flooding here in the Linglestown area. 10.47in of rain now for April. Roads closed with the even worse flash flooding than the event a few weeks ago with 3.75in of rain. The storm around 400am was terribly vicious here with very high winds. Several large trees down within the township. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engine2211 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 EF2 is probably the strongest to hit the area ever. How did Lancaster County fair? I know they were in a tornado warning around 11am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieOber Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 EF2 is probably the strongest to hit the area ever. How did Lancaster County fair? I know they were in a tornado warning around 11am. No, there have been stronger to hit the area before. The most recent was the EF3 that hit Campbelltown in 2004. That was the second EF3 to hit Lebanon County since 1970.

JamieOber Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 So, for those of us in true central PA especially at higher elevations, Euro has snow next week. GFS doesn't due to keeping the storm to our south but is definitely cold enough. Crazy, although I have seen snowflakes here two of the last three Mays.

The 1970 F3 touched down about 1.5 miles from my house(before it was built) and killed one person. Several of our older neighbors have talked about it before. The Campbelltown tornado scared us pretty good here....if you extend its path linearly, it approaches within 1 mile of our house...needless to say we took shelter as soon as that warning was issued. There was also an F2 in 1992 that touched down a bit over a mile away and traveled along the hill above our house, my dad saw it while looking out the back window.

Itstrainingtime Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 EF2 is probably the strongest to hit the area ever. How did Lancaster County fair? I know they were in a tornado warning around 11am. Despite all of the warnings, we came out of it extremely fortunate. No confirmed tornadoes and minimal damage. River is up in Marietta about a mile from my house, but nothing too serious.

CNYWxGuy Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I just saw possible EF-0 EF-1 damage in Lehman Twp Luzerne County. A witness said she saw a tornado around 5am lit up by lightning come through the Back Mountain area. Trees snapped off around 30 feet off the ground, hundreds of trees toppled in different directions. Path seemed to be 50-75 yards wide and 1/2 mile long. I did a live noon report on wnep and will be back live in that area at five and six tonight. 90mph Microburst per BGM survey... PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BINGHAMTON NY 125 PM EDT FRI APR 29 2011 ...DOWNBURST WIND DAMAGE IN LEHMAN TOWNSHIP LUZERNE COUNTY PENNSYLVANIA... A NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SURVEY TEAM HAS DETERMINED THAT THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT`S THUNDERSTORMS IN THE LEHMAN TOWNSHIP AREA IS THE RESULT OF DOWNBURST WINDS...AND NOT A TORNADO. THE DAMAGE IS INDICATIVE OF APPROXIMATELY 90 MILE PER HOUR WIND SPEEDS IN THIS AREA. LEHMAN TOWNSHIP IS LOCATED IN LUZERNE COUNTY TO THE WEST OF THE WILKES BARRE METROPOLITAN AREA.

Big Jims Videos Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Thanks to Dave Nicosia from nws bing for letting our crew tag along with him yesterday. Damage path was two miles long and 200 yards wide. Just goes to show microburst winds are just as damaging as a tornado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasternUSWX Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 Hey all. Updates are back up again on our page for PA. I been on hiatus for a while. lol 1:15 PM 5/2/11 (PA) | Partly to mostly cloudy skies are over the state today with temperatures in the south pushing towards 70 and remaining near 60 in the north. A few showers or storms are possible today mainly across the west. Tomorrow look for more widespread showers and storms across the state especially toward late afternoon into the early overnight. Some of the storms maybe severe and there is a slight risk out for central PA tomorrow from SPC. Will have more on the situation later this evening.

Eskimo Joe Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I have my doubts as to the potential for severe weather across Lancaster / Lebanon / York counties. This cirrus shield isn't allowing the sun to warm the low levels enough. I've seen this setup before, but I hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PottercountyWXobserver Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Somebody is getting pounded near the State College to Williamsport area, man according to radar estimates, some places are over 3". I'm fairly impressed with this storm so far. I'v received 1.22" and counting, I'm wondering if my storm total will exceed 2". This pattern since the beginning of April has been extremely wet, and it doesn't look to let up anytime soon. Not only has the pattern been exciting, theres even a small chance of some snow showers tonight once the front pushes by Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PottercountyWXobserver Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Wow, if the long range GFS has its way, there is going to be a lot of pissed of people in PA. A cutoff low parks itself over the area for almost 5 days! Could be a down right drizzly and miserable next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
