Extremely high winds came through Blossburg PA, of all places! During their annual Coal Festival, of all times! It was a confirmed tornado, but no idea what ranking. The big trees at the park were like sails for the wind. At least 10 of those giant trees fell on vehicles, tents, and people. NO deaths!!!! Praise Odin!

  • i would like to say something im the owner of the dodge ram that was totaled on this site blossburg told there insurance companys it was a gust of wind so they didnt have to pay for anything im with out a truck and femma wont recognize it cause blossburg didnt report it cause they said it wasnt a tornado so everyone that got there vechicales destroyed and got hurt. are out of luck cause they wont help pay but very nice video

  • @ajlt123 That is complete bullshit! I am very sorry to hear this. The town itself didn't report this as a tornado? That's why insurance won't cover the damage? The news confirmed it as a tornado. I'd look into this, dude. You shouldn't have to pay. I'm not sure what kind of insurance policy you have, but there should be some loophole around this. "high winds" don't shatter giant trees like this. People in town had their roofs REMOVED from their houses, and you can see the path the tornado took.
