Thunderstorm Wind in Pike County, Pennsylvania

Strong thunderstorm winds knocked trees down.

A surface boundary moved through Northeast Pennsylvania, kicking off a line of storms that crossed the region. There were some scattered thunderstorm cells that did pop up ahead of this main line of storms which moved north and east across the area during the mid-to-late afternoon. With a moisture rich and unstable environment ahead of the boundary, thunderstorms quickly became severe. Damaging wind gusts were the main threat with these storms. The majority of damage reports were for downed trees and utility lines. Unfortunately, there was one fatality in Susquehanna County due to a falling tree that landed on a man.
