With the severe thunderstorms that rolled through the region tonight, we are starting to get reports of damage, and what people were able to see on the ground as the storms passed by.
According to the Crawford County Office Of Emergency Services, 2 Funnel Clouds were reported by residents in Linesville. The National Weather Services Radar, and Storm Track 4D were not able to to confirm this. Altough our radar algorithms (by WDT) were picking up on the potential for downdrafts in that area, which could produce cloud features that may slightly resemble a funnel cloud.
An area of State Route 98, was washed out near Route 86 in Crawford County.
Hafield Township on State Route 98 had some flooding, south of Littles Corners on South Moisertown Rd.
A tree was knocked down in Spring Township on Springboro Road.
A basement flooded in Saegertown.
**Here is my favorite** "Incidents related to this storm was cows on the roadway near Agnew Road and State Highway 18 In Summit Township".
Finally, ace weather watcher Bernie Feltz in McKean Township reported 1.05" of rain in 24 minutes. That may not sound impressive, but that is roughly the same water content of 10.5" of snow, in 24 minutes.
If you have pictures of these storms, or the damage, send them to weather@wsee.tv.
