Severe Storms Hit Central PA
Just a quick post about the storms that came through State College, PA on Sunday. A severe thunderstorm warning was issued for parts of our county and the best part of the storm went just to my north, through Bellefonte, where trees were reported down. I snapped these photos of a wall cloud feature as the southwest edge passed by me. Henry says he's sure there was a funnel cloud when he saw it earlier (he is southwest of me). He's going to add some photos tomorrow.
I also took some video and hopefully caught some lightning strikes on film.
The wall cloud feature was hard to discern and I hope the videotape will be more revealing. I will take a look at it Monday night.
Here's the radar shot from when I took the pictures (I am at the "X" southeast of University Park (airport)):
Radar movie and lightning maps are available here.
