Tornado touchdown near Hempfield Area Senior High School PA

I'm posting this here for weather related

I was listening to a scanner and noticed this

Possible Tornado touchdown near Hempfield Area Senior High School. Severe damage across the county. (5:56 CDT)

I'm listening to the services now they are mentioning hard time turning water off
roofs have holes

I haven't seen any news places list this yet
I did find a place that has a video already here

here is the video on that page
( language )


and here is the site I'm listening to the Westmoreland County Public Safety Live Audio Feed
here

If that does not work

To the people in that area stay safe , if you can give any updates that would be great

Whoa, that's only about 40 minutes away from me. For a few minutes where I am there was a hail storm; nothing serious, but it made quite a racket on the windows.

Forgot to mention this is PA

People asking if they can bring stuff from their houses,

Salvation army is helping out

this sounds pretty big but still can't find any news yet on the web

Residents can stay home if they want , even though there is no power or water
but they have a choice to go to a shelter if they want

was just reported over the scanner

also finally found to links
WTAE

and

WFMJ

Is this the same thing as what is happening in the "TORNADO WARNINGS IN CALIFORNIA THREAD"?

Anyway, scary video. those kids were so annoying.
Hope everyone manages to stay safe there.

No this one touched down

you can still listen to them talk about whats going on in the scanner link
of the first post

Trying to do a clean up
they are expecting more bad weather

So far no mention of any casualties buy this.

Man, tornados are so cool!

Too bad we don't get any good ones down in Florida .

I watched that video and honestly this is where I have one of those moments hoping it would take those morons up in to the clouds. The "ahem" is filming the wrong cloud as a clearly visible tornado is off to his right and then they take no effort to warn anyone - just stand and film and curse.

hempfield?
