Survey Summary:
A storm survey team from the National Weather Service office in
State College confirmed widespread microburst damage occurring
across a 2 mile wide area in Dauphin and Middle Paxton Township,
Pennsylvania. At approximately 7:21 PM EDT on Sunday, Jun 14,
2026, a severe thunderstorm began producing damaging straight line
winds just north of Route 22 along the Susquehanna River, with
multiple trees uprooted and snapped on properties along Kathryn
Ave. Two trees damaged a fence and a shed as they fell. The storm
and accompanying microburst traveled northeast over the next
5 minutes, snapping or uprooting at least 100 trees. Three very
large trees fell across two cars and a home on Hecks Dr. The
microburst produced tree damage as far north as Mountain Road, as
far west as Garber Lane, and as far east as Fulton Rd. Several
witnesses describe the storm as producing penny to quarter size
hail followed by an opaque wall of heavy rain and wind. We thank
the many homeowners who took the time to speak with us.
