Power Outages

Oh would you look at that! Today is hot and muggy and people don't have power.

Checking First Energy's map these are the locations within the county with people without power:

  • Erie
  • Edinboro
  • Lake City
  • West Millcreek
  • Wesleyville

There might be more, and or some of these locations maybe up and running by the time I post this.

Make it 4 tornados in Crawford Co. from Sunday the 14th storms.

A few days ago I shared a news article about five tornados that touched down across NWPA on Sunday the 14th. Well now the NWS confirms Crawford County alone had four, totaling up to six tornados across NWPA.

To add to that, yesterday the 18th, it is possible Crawford County had yet another tornado. A video captured by Chief Nathan Walczak from the Cambridge Springs Volunteer Fire Department, shows what appears to a tornadic activity, not just a funnel cloud. The NWS will obviously make the final judgement.

This is getting insane.

Presque Isle Beach 6 swimming restriction now lifted

Beach 6 was closed due to E. coli, yesterday the restriction was lifted but now has an advisory. Just be mindful. Every year several of the beaches get closed then reopened due to this.

The one local news website claims all 13 beaches are now open for swimming but Beach 10 (Budny Beach) is closed due to construction updates according to VistErie.
