IKE BLOWS THROUGH TOWN
The remnants of Hurricane Ike made their way through town last night with some pretty strong gusts. They were nowhere near the winds experienced when Ike made landfall early Saturday morning, but they were enough to leave several without power,...
A WET JULY, SO FAR
After a couple of days with scattered downpours, the rain guages have been really filling up. Not including the rain that fell since midnight, we are almost 2.5 inches above average for rainfall this month. Keep in mind that...
GULLY WASHER
An impressive thunderstorm, packing heavy rain, blew on shore this morning. While the properties of the storm were not strong enough to warrant a severe thunderstorm warning for Ashtabula or Erie Counties, it did spur a Flood Warning for...
TUESDAY'S STORM REPORTS

VIEWER PICTURES & QUESTION: IS THIS A FUNNEL CLOUD?
With the severe thunderstorms that rolled through over the weekend, many people believe they saw funnel clouds. The pictures above are from Corry, PA from Sunday, June 29th at about 5pm. Personally, I am not convinced this is a...
FUNNEL CLOUDS IN LINESVILLE?

STORM CHASER GETS "CAUGHT UP" IN TORNADO
A storm chaser ended up getting chased down by a tornado yesterday. A "twister" passed right over their storm chasing vehicle. You can see the video, that is available on their website. To see it, CLICK HERE. Ray Petelin, WSEE...
TUESDAY AM STORMS: VIEWER PICTURES & LIVE EYE VIDEO
Patty in Harborcreek caught a great picture of the storms that developed this morning. She is in Harborcreek, where the storms approached the "severe" limits (winds greater than 60mph & 3/4" hail). It is quite an impressive picture. Our...
MONDAY NIGHT STORM CLOUDS: VIEWER PICTURES
Just before the storms rolled in, last night, the Casells snapped pictures of these clouds. The sunbeams that you see shining here are (warning: here comes a "weather nerd" word) crepuscular rays. Sheri and Will in East Springfield sent...
VIEWER PICTURES: VENANGO STORM
Last night (6/08/08), a line of severe thunderstorms developed inland. For the most part, these storms were classified as severe because of their winds that were in excess of 58 miles per hour. As this line moved into Venango County,...
MORE TORNADO VIDEO
In a previous post, I provided Youtube video from the inside of a bank, as it was hit by a tornado. This same tornado, in Parkersburg, IA was caught by an ATM's camera destroying a house. This really illustrates that...
VIEWER QUESTION: WHAT MAKES A THUNDERSTORM "SEVERE"?
This is a great question that does not get asked enough. The definition of a severe thunderstorm is any thunderstorm that produces hail of 3/4" in diameter or greater, and/or has winds at 58 miles per hour or greater. Many...
TORNADO HITS BANK: CAUGHT ON CAMERA
Here is some impressive surveillance camera footage from the First State Bank in Parkersburg, Iowa where an EF-5 tornado hit last week. This shows just how powerful a tornado can be. This is also a good illustration as to why...
SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE
Despite the sunshine to start the day off, some bumpy weather is looming for this evening, and this will probably last into tomorrow morning. We have the ingredients for severe thunderstorms to develop in our area during this time...
SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE FRIDAY
It appears as our first round of severe, spring weather could develop tomorrow. Here is the set-up. A very warm and humid airmass will bring temperatures on Friday into the lower 70's. The cold portion of this storm system will...
SKYWARN TRAINING TO BEGIN
When it comes to severe weather, you can never have too many people collecting information. Many times, meteorologists are forced to work with little information, and that is why it is important to have as many trained "spotters" as possible....
