Updated: July 18, 2024, 7:47 a.m. ET
A series of storms rolled through south-central Pennsylvania Wednesday afternoon and evening, causing damage to many areas that had been hit the day before. Several days of severe weather caused downed trees, power outages and other damage. WGAL viewers shared videos and photos of the changing weather and the damage it caused. The video above was taken at Reiser's Market in Campbelltown, Lebanon County, around 6:40 p.m. As the storm develops, you can see large, ominous-looking clouds in the distance. Another viewer shared a photo of a fallen tree in Mount Joy, Lancaster County. We've posted three of them below. Spectators said the tree, which fell in their backyard, was one of the tallest in the area. A spectator said the outfield fence blew down before the game between Hempfield and Penn Manor. Storm Oxford came through just north of New Oxford and it knocked down two trees and smashed our racecourse fence, luckily we had just gotten the horses in and two of the horses had been standing in that area five minutes before. “Video below: Heavy rain and thunder in Denver, Lancaster County.
