er. sorry, weather.

wow. severe thunderstorm. and here i've been claiming for years that i'm not a weather sprite.

AT 853 PM EDT...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM CAPABLE OF PRODUCING PENNY SIZE HAIL...AND DAMAGING WINDS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH. THIS STORM WAS LOCATED NEAR PERKASIE...OR ABOUT 19 MILES SOUTHEAST OF ALLENTOWN...AND MOVING SOUTHEAST AT 20 MPH.

THIS IS A DANGEROUS STORM. IF YOU ARE IN ITS PATH...PREPARE IMMEDIATELY FOR DAMAGING WINDS...DESTRUCTIVE HAIL...AND DEADLY CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING. PEOPLE OUTSIDE SHOULD MOVE TO A SHELTER... PREFERABLY INSIDE A STRONG BUILDING BUT AWAY FROM WINDOWS.


we had the hail, the lightning, and the wind. as well as a heck of a lot of rain. this is pretty impressive.

sorry about the caps. the NWS doesn't believe in anything else.
