Sun is out in full 70/64.

My boy said he's been crushing the smallies today.  He's back on dad's favorite hole on the Conawago West stealing my fish. Lol

Tor seems to be on the ground nearing Roaring Spring S of Altoona. Nasty hook.

Ugh. Hope it’s a false flag for us. 

[canderson]

Pretty concerned about that line west coming. It is prime to bow. 

[Yardstickgozinya]

True, hook just showed up, it's starting to turn right. It appears the warining box takes the right turn into account.

[Yardstickgozinya]

Definitely a right turner,  nasty hail core. 

[Yardstickgozinya]

This is the same severe warned cell .I took off the hazards to better show cell intensity.

She's beautiful. Really came into her own last 5 minutes with a a beautiful inflow notch. If anything she's going to put down right on top of cove mountain up there right by route 850. Some of my soon have one heck of a site when it gets to the river

Just got a tornado warning from that storm. I can see it over the mountains. Looks really nasty

[canderson]

That storm is definitely spinning fast

Off of 83 around Lewisberry looking NW toward Linglestown - a best friend took it

Thanks. I saw the trucks and loading docks so I was wondering.

[mitchnick]

I was just up in Selensgrove earlier today to pick up my new (used) car. Glad I left this morning. Still hoping to hear from Bliz soon.

[HBGCPA10]

Went north of me (still went in the basement with the fam) looks like it went right down Clarks Valley

[Jonesy56]

Low-level rotation was visible looking north from linglestown but I couldn’t discern a funnel. Definitely wouldn’t be surprised to hear that there was touchdown somewhere along a line just north of here.

Absolutely beautiful pictureb but I live here in  Lewisberry and I've never seen any of that stuff in my life. It looks like it could either be Middletown or maybe even in camp hill, near the hydroponic shop. I also couldn't see any of that from where i'm at I've been outside looking. 

[Yardstickgozinya]

I'm also getting hammered here pretty good.

I wonder if she took it on the way to her horses - I’ll have to ask. She lives pretty close to you. 

[canderson]

Yea it’s gnarly out here now. But short loved.

I mean, I could be wrong. But I believe that sign in the background specifically sells, diesel gas . If @Voyager can confirm this.I believe this photo was taken in CampHill, by the harrisburg hydroponic and the old Coca cola shipping facility, if they're even there any longer.

Actually, the area I am talking about is in lemoyne not Camphill.
