I could not agree more. And while we don't know what kind of truck this is, if its an 18 wheeler its not exactly as maneuverable as a small vehicle. And even at that, this escalated very quickly with very poor visibility. Chances are this driver is not the weather buff that we are, and the driver is probably not expecting a tornado, in PA no less, at that moment. Even if I was the driver and surfing this forum and RadarScope at stop lights, the last thing I would expect would be that a tornado would actually hit me given the probabilities area wide. I probably would have froze with my foot on the brake as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not suggesting they drive ahead, just point the cab over to the shoulder. Truck drivers are very experienced with the dangers of cross-winds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homeowner looking out backdoor, tornado is off to his right behind trees but you can hear the roar. 2 min or so later it hits his house, he and dog are in basement. House shakes, alarms going off, pitch black. He comes upstairs and walks to that front of house window to see what just came through. the video is 3:45 min long. That tornado was moving really fast. Scary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On orientation but not so much on actual amounts. Being anywhere from 1.5” to upwards of 5” off on totals in a 48 hour forecast is pretty far off. I would the icon was better with totals from the same range but had its heaviest precip a little too far to the northwest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
