Event narrative (NOAA)
Low pressure tracked northeast from the Mississippi Valley, intensifying rapidly as it tracked across Cleveland, OH overnight to Montreal, Canada by Tuesday morning of the 12th. A strong cold front trailing from the low moved east across Pennsylvania producing wind damage in every central PA county. Statewide, it was estimated some 200,000 customers were without electricity at some time during the event. A 79-year old female died at 5:30 a.m. in Westport, Clinton County, when a tree fell on her mobile home as she slept. The tree, a sycamore, broke off about 15 feet above the ground and fell on the mobile home. A volunteer fireman was injured when a tree fell on his truck near Ebensburg in Cambria County, and a girl had a leg broken by a falling tree at Kantz in Snyder County.Some wind
