Super Storms Drop Hail and Deadly Lightning!

Monday night, October 11th 2010: Severe Weather pushes across PA along a front coming out of the Great Lakes. This storm was born in Lancaster County, Pa and moved East towards Philly.  Amazing Structure throughout the storm! Kind of resembles my “Midnight Lightning” photo that is currently in a National Geographic Photo Contest with Energizer Batteries.

Above:  A  few pictures as the northern edge of the squall line closed in on my position. (2:14pm EST)

  A strong  low pressure system is scooping moisture from the Gulf of Mexico and throwing up north  along the eastern seaboard bringing very heavy rain, strong winds and the possibility of thunderstorms to Southeastern PA .  An Areal flood warning was issued for our area until 8pm EST because copious amounts of rain had fallen overnight and conitues to fall the following morning.  A few isolated thunderstorms formed along the back edge of the leading precipitaion aroudn 12:15pm this afternoon.  I anticipated this squall line to move across my area within the next two hours. With that in mind I packed my gear and hooked up the radar in my car and went out to find a good location to view the approaching storm. The temperature hit 63 degrees today by Saturday we will be struggeling to get out of the 20’s.
