I was going to stop and snap some pictures out here in the Williams Grove area, because they grow several different types of produce, but the weather did not allow as I was driving through. Out here, the crops don't look too bad, but everything's irrigated. The corn on the edge of the fields that's not reached by the irrigation is stressed to the point where it will never produce a very viable crop. I'd imagine some of the unirrigated cornfields, look a lot like the edge of the cornfields out here in williams grove. Cabbage pumpkins, squash, watermelon all looks pretty decent out here. -

I can smell the rain.dark clouds, east-west, north and south, but nothing here at my house. looks like I might get fringed again but that elongated cell just to my south might be able to get up here and help me out a little bit. -

The furthest northeast tip of York Co did not get hit we just got missed here earlier, but there's a few more small cells popping up around me now. -

I'd like to see that. It'd be cool if you could get it and put up a link. I tried to find a video of the radar loops from the 4th and 5th to post here, but I was unsuccessful.However, I did find over an hour of live, storm coverage from CBS 21 that includes some good aerial footage of the storm. -

Yep, pretty repulsive stuff out here yesterday and today. The gnats and mosquitoes that definitely upticked a little bit over the last few days. -

I think I mentioned about all the carnage out in the Lisburn and Heritage Golf course areas as I drove through fields and trails in the woods just to get home. . I just drove out there to check things out and they haven't even opened the roads yet.There's crews out there, still trying to get the roads open . -

Take it with the grain of salt because it is Google AI but I went ahead and asked the question, did evasive insects have any impact on power outages in central pennsylvania, from this last storm, and this what it found for me. Yes, invasive insects significantly contributed to the extent of the power outages across Central Pennsylvania. While severe winds and heavy rain from the storms were the direct cause of the downed lines, many of the trees and large branches that failed were already weakened or killed by invasive pests, making them highly susceptible to snapping Unitil. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] Several key factors link invasive insects to the power outages: Emerald Ash Borer: This invasive beetle has killed millions of ash trees across Pennsylvania Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (.gov). These dead, brittle trees easily topple onto power lines during severe wind events. [1, 2, 3] Spotted Lanternfly: These insects feed on the sap of various hardwoods, excreting honeydew that leads to tree-killing black sooty mold Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (.gov). [1, 2, 3, 4] Gypsy Moth: Long a pest in the region, repeated defoliation by gypsy moths starves trees, leaving them vulnerable to both disease and high winds Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (.gov). [1, 2] Utility companies and foresters note that trees damaged by these insects decay from the inside out, creating major structural weaknesses Unitil. As a result, even winds that a healthy tree might withstand are enough to bring down these compromised trees onto the electrical grid. For continuous updates on power restoration efforts in your area, please consult your local provider like FirstEnergy. -

Not that there's not any, but with as much tree damage that has happened throughout the area.I would expect to see a lot more soffits , siding and shingles removed.
