Even here in the woods of PA, there are occasional flirtations with disaster. In 1985 a tornado touched down in Penfield near Parker Dam State Park, and continued on the ground for 99 minutes in a 60 mile long path to just north of Lock Haven PA. Blew down 26K of forest in a path that varied from 300 yards to 1.5 miles wide. A real monster that happened on some of the more mountainous terrain in PA. Fortunately, it was in a virtually uninhabited area. So it can happen anywhere. The odds are a little better here than in the alley tho'. - Mike KB3EIA - Though it seems with tornados that the most severe occurances tend to be outside tornado alley. Almost as if they have to be bigger to be able at all. I.e. the greatest number are in tornado alley but the severest ones are outside it. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE |
