SEVERE STORMS BLAST CHESTER COUNTY

Friday May 14th, 2010.

After Work, I went to work. Chasing Severe Thunderstorms racing across Lancaster County, PA. Deadly cloud to ground lightning, fierce winds and small hail pounded my car as I made my way through southwestern Chester County to intercept the storm. As the initial storm passed I noticed more thunderstorm development occurring to my west through rumbles of thunder accompanied by bolts of lightning. The storms were back-building which meant four more hours of lightning for me. Here are a few pictures from the chase!
