When we obtain reports from across the region - whether from spotters, the general public, or solicited information from people like PennDOT or Emergency Personnel - we quality-check the data.

Survey Summary:
Between 9:47 PM and 10:06 PM on Thursday, August 29, 2024,
a supercell thunderstorm produced straight line wind damage
east of Mifflintown. The most extensive damage was to a couple
of residences along Cedar Springs Road, with additional damage
extending two miles south to just south of U.S. Highway 322 along
William Penn Highway. The damage was about 0.6 miles wide with peak
estimated wind speeds of 85-95 mph.
The roofs of two residences along Cedar Springs Road were heavily
damaged as portions of them were blown off to the south and southeast.
Additionally, the side of a large open barn was blown over. Here and to
the south, multiple trees either had their trunks snapped off or were
blown over. This led to downed wires and subsequently multiple road
closures. The southern extent of the brunt of the damage was found along
William Penn Highway where a large tree was blown down and blocked the
highway.
The National Weather Service in State College would like to thank the
Juniata County Department of Emergency Services for their time and
assistance with this damage survey.
