I hope everyone made it through the storm okay.? I know a number of us were without electric power for a time following the storm.? It was fast as it moved through?the area, but hopefully damage was minimal.

Severe thunderstorms will be possible across central Pennsylvania Tuesday afternoon and evening, with the highest risk for severe weather across northwestern Pennsylvania.
