Exciting Week for Pennsylvania Storm Enthusiasts

By Jesse Ferrell, AccuWeather meteorologist and senior weather editor

Although storms are dangerous, we, the Pennsylvania Storm Chasers, like to document them safely. And we have had a long severe weather week, with many storms. 139 warnings were issued by 4 NWS offices in eight days, covering most of the state and including 123 Severe Thunderstorm Warnings:

590x404_06051956_palsr527-603

The highlight of my week was on May 30 -- the AccuWeather HQ Shelf Cloud -- but I've talked about that already.

I also got a couple of kind-of-cool multi-part lightning strikes on video on May 27 and June 3:

And an assortment of rainbow and cloud photos on June 3rd. But the big news was what the other PA chasers got -- like this video which shows a vertical cloud structure from Justin Steiner on June 1 near Yorkana, Pa., or Ron Shawley's time-lapse video that may show a tornado with the storm that dropped one at Ligonier, Pa.:

I'll also give an honorable mention to Ron's "Rainbows & Wind Turbines" shot near Johnstown. And even AccuWeather VP Elliot Abrams snagged this rainbow shot Monday:
