No, I'm in Bensalem now. This area is more prone to severe storms, and there's a heavy line of storms, currently near Allentown, approaching my area.

FORECASTER: DEVOIR/LACORTE

This is the third tornado warning we've had this year.

[Localonthe8s]

Do you see a funnel cloud nearby Billy?

[beanboy89]

Do you see a funnel cloud nearby Billy?

No.

[Localonthe8s]

Then it's likely there's no tornado. I swear our local news stations always say there's a tornado warning in my area but NO FRIGGIN TORNADO ever touches down

It was doppler radar indicated. Just because nothing was spotted, doesn't mean that there is no chance for a tornado. If strong rotation is seen on radar, then there is a strong likelihood for a tornado, but it hasn't been spotted.

[Zach]

Billy,


are the two counties along the MD PA border York and Adams Counties? Those were shaded for tornado warnings.
