JamieOber Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I often think they need to give severe warnings for high amounts of lightning but no idea how to set the criteria. To people here at work this is severe in their minds due to the lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santa Clause Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Multiple trees down all over the place north of IPT and in Montoursville. 1000 plus customers out of power and more warnings popping up.

AllWeather Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Think they will maintane their strength reaching Lanc Co? MCS's can sometimes maintain their own dynamics, despite losing instability that the sun/warmth provided. The Sun is going down now, so we are definitely going to start losing the instability, but with a RIJ that seems pretty healthy, then it won't matter. Also, the instability is completely untapped essentially south of the turnpike. I would imagine it would hold together somewhat over the next couple hours, but doubt that it'll be as strong as it is now. Could still see some rumbles/gusty winds within an hour or two! I just want to hear a rumble and I'll be a happy camper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieOber Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 My wife and I left work late and went over Skytop in that, right when it hit. That was some of the worst driving I've ever experienced. We were getting blown all over the road and it was raining so hard I could barely see. Intense lightning. I'm glad we got home, that was no fun at all.
