Scary I know that area very well. Also I heard there was a tornado in Montgomery County, PA. Does anyone know where it was or have any information on it?

LanCo, MontCo TORs

LanCo one was Clay Twp. as seen above, NWS confirmed EF0.

MontCo was Lansdale, and was not confirmed by NWS. Thus, considered t-storm and wind damage.

Personally saw 3 funnels in BerksCo that afternoon. None touched down, but all were awesome looking. Better formed than 5/31/1998. (Saw 2 that day, one cell became TOR that destroyed Lyons Borough.)
