It wasn’t the clouds that did it, it was your location compared to the MCS. Was cloudy here all day and we had one of the longest lasting/largest tornadoes this area has ever seen just a couple miles down the road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newman Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 What an insane day it turned out to be. My post about this being more so a "damaging wind" threat did not age well. This ended up being a localized tornado outbreak for SE PA and Southern Jersey. I actually went to chase the two tornado warned storms in northern MD and ended up missing them, started to drive back and was getting phone calls from my friend in Levittown who was chasing that New Hope storm. He then backtracked and tried to intercept the Bensalem storm but missed that one. Overall, just an incredible day. Low level shear for the win, sun/CAPE for the loss. I hope everyone here on the board and across the area is okay. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Have been looking at the damage reports. That area has really been hit this year between the flooding rains earlier this month and now this. So far my low this morning has been 72 and it's currently 72 with dp 70 about 30 minutes before sunrise, and partly cloudy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heisy Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Hey fellas, thought I'd check in. I live near welsh/boulevard. I saw the hook forming heading right towards Bensalem so I decided, since I'm crazy, to go drive and chase it. I drove right up the boulevard and made it to the Wawa near Neshaminy Motel, RIGHT AS THE TORNADO WAS FORMING. I was right up the road from where the tornado hit I experienced one of the coolest things ever. It was pouring rain with low visibility, and then suddenly as the tornado passed the winds quickly changed directions, the sun became visible, and it got extremely gusty. Was a pretty cool experience. My grandmother lives in the trailer park behind the car dealership that was destroyed. She had just got out of the hospital and my mother was with her. She is located in the back of the park. Luckily, it was the front of the park that took the most damage. She is without power but fine otherwise.

Fortunately I haven't heard of any serious injuries, amazing seeing the damage around the area. Picked up about .70" yesterday from the portion of the storm that looked to move on and form the tornado in the lower Bucks area. 73F/DP 68F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newman Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Record low temps possible tonight. Philadelphia forecast is to get down to 57F which would tie the record low for July 31st. Reading and Allentown forecast to get down to 52-54 which would be close as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattinpa Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 That EF-3 is one of the biggest in the area since the Limerick tornado back in the 90s. The Limerick one was a high F3. I am not sure if that would be adjusted to a EF-4 today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
