...Summary...
The National Weather Service in State College PA has confirmed a
Microburst /Straight Line Wind Damage/ near Millersburg in
Dauphin County Pennsylvania on April 15, 2019.

A swath of concentrated damage originated at the intersection of
North Street and River street along the Susquehanna River and
continued east-northeast through Millersburg. Along the path there
was sporadic tree damage. A roof was partially removed from
Hebron United Methodist Church and a warehouse near Middlesburg
Area Middle School. The straight-line winds lifted several pole
vault mats on the track at Middlesburg Area Middle School, which
marked the end of concentrated wind damage.

This information can also be found on our website at
weather.gov/StateCollege.

For reference:
A microburst is a convective downdraft with an affected outflow
area of less than 2 1/2 miles wide and peak winds lasting less
than 5 minutes. Microbursts may induce dangerous horizontal and
vertical wind shears, which can adversely affect aircraft
performance and cause property damage. Straight-line winds are
generally any wind that is not associated with rotation, used
mainly to differentiate them from tornadic winds.

Tonight a crew was gathered to help out Upper Paxton Township in washing down their parking lot after their Spring Clean Up day this past weekend. This gave some members a chance to work on their Driver/Operator qualification checklists and some newer members got a little nozzle time. ... See MoreSee Less

Monday, April 15, 2019 at approximately 00:55, the Millersburg Fire Company began a long night of responding to several calls in the Boro as a result of storm damage. The hardest hit buildings were the Hebron United Methodist Church and Ark Safety. Major structural damage occurred at both of those locations and trees down on River Street damaged vehicles and a house. Other damages occurred the apartment building at Center and Market Street as well as other isolated areas. Fortunately no injuries were sustained in this storm and work was underway quickly to control the areas for safety of the public. Officials from Dauphin County met with the Emergency Management Coordinator later that day to survey the damage and record data and photos that were sent to the National Weather Service. At this time no determination hs been made regarding the storm by the NWS. Thanks to all who assisted and offered assistance.

North Street between Market and West will remain closed until the possibility of falling debris from the church has been abated. ... See MoreSee Less
