Event narrative (NOAA)
NWS meteorologists confirmed a microburst near Muncy in southern Lycoming County around 1640 EDT. Peak thunderstorm winds were estimated near 80 mph based on extensive tree and roof damage. The intense, straight-line downburst winds uprooted or snapped numerous trees, causing structural damage to several homes. One very large tree landed on a vehicle traveling along S. Main Street and resulted in two fatalities.
