Whoa! Hershey is an utter storm ravaged MESS!Rebecca Snyder Weaver
(from a friend's post): Large hunks of downed tress are not just down, they are missing. Chimneys and pieces of roof ripped off. Power lines and entire street lights down? Hmmm...I'm no weather expert but is anyone else wondering if this storm included a tornado going through Hershey and South Hanover in the wee hours this morning? Prayers going out to those friends having to deal with the aftermath and hoping that there was no loss of life.Michelle Smith Torres
Just drove through that storm. The Hershey kiss lights on 422 in Hershey are in the road along with a million trees... Worst drive everTrish Sprentall
