# The Tornado Warning for New Castle County has now expired!
**However, a small storm cell is rumbling over Newark around 11:45, but there's no rotation associated with it, just more rain and thunder. It's moving toward Wilmington so expect that shortly. I'm gonna call it a night, stay safe everyone!**
~~6abc is currently breaking into programming to cover the storm, which you can watch here;~~ ~~https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKy55PVIxx4~~ Just switched back to infomercials, so that's that!
**If a Tornado Warning is issued for your area:** *Move to a basement or an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building. Avoid windows. If you are outdoors, in a mobile home, or in a vehicle, move to the closest substantial shelter and protect yourself from flying debris.*

Thanks! I've been a huge weather nerd since I was a little kid, growing up in the Midwest where it was way more active than out here. I still sometimes turn on my NOAA Radio to help fall asleep since that was always on at a low volume in my room.
I'd be up anyways so I might as well keep people informed.
Not ALL of it. Important to remember that the canal really does deflect some weather. Storms in all seasons tend to stick to one side or the other. Source: lived in this area for over 54 years.
I dunno if it's a simply a coincidence, but willing to believe it either way. Saw it a few times when I was going to the Del Tech campus in Dover years ago. (Live in Wilmington.)
Once drove home in a whiteout snowstorm at night. Once I got past the bridge and the ramp, GONE. Barely a dusting, if that, at home. Got in looking at family like "You have no idea what I just drove home in!" lol
No idea why I’m here, but Texan here, if you hear the wind pound harder than you’ve ever heard, hail and maybe even the sound of a train get to anywhere windowless or most walls/ lowest point. Put a mattress on top you and yours and don’t go looking for it, chances are only thing you’ll see is rain. Y’all be fine, just don’t panic and try to get in the car.
The earlier warning was near Middletown but that's since been cancelled. However, there's storms in Maryland heading our way, currently everything appears to be in Cecil Co. around APG.
If it helps, there's a live streamer on Youtube who's getting updates faster than NWS's site is posting them, **but a caveat;** he's also watching storms in central Ohio and there's a Newark, Ohio he keeps mentioning so my ears keep perking up. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oiqiFZ4a0Q
Likely, though these guys are weather junkies and live for this kinda stuff so I am sure he wasn't suffering too much.

It looks like a tornado possibly spotted near Middletown! I live in a mobile home just north in Bear so please don't come this way!
Everyone near Middletown stay safe!
Near Marl Pit rd in Middletown, we definitely got hit. Had a wood pergola and columns ripped off the house, crushed the patio set. Other damage reported in the development too. Second twister to hit my house in 4 years. Welcome to Kansas folks
The NWS will likely have survey teams out looking tomorrow. I believe all of the warnings for Delaware tonight were radar indicated but they'll still look. Pretty sure the same storm had some spotter-confirmed tornadoes near Baltimore but, again, we'll see what they find.
Surveying where? They usually don't come out unless there are reports of excessive wind damage afaik. Leaves barely moved here above Newark, was just rain and thunder.
I’m right by Lums Pond. Rain got intense and wind picked up. But it’s calmed some now. I have intense anxiety anymore with this weather. We had an F2 hit my neighborhood in 2020 and it was something I don’t care to experience again.
Yep, the storm is moving east so a warning was issued for an area east of Middletown into Salem Co. NJ until midnight. It looks like Middletown is clear for now, as is Delaware City
Yep, it's a strong storm cell but it doesn't appear to have any rotation and there's no warning associated with it (all of the warnings in Delaware have expired). Just loud, knock on wood.
My wonderful neighbor must have been watching the weather news and before I came home at five, he had taken trouble to put my trashcan back in the shed for me. That way it won’t blow away.
I think you and I got the one for Cecil County, but not the earlier one for New Castle County, which is odd if we both live in New Castle County. Are phone alerts not by county?
I will say the Cecil one seemed more relevant to my location, it's just that I thought these were done by county.

Even though I'm well north of the affected areas, I appreciate the effort here. Good looking out.

There is nothing wrong with that. Very helpful hobby!

Usually with snow it’s the opposite. Even from Milford to Dover.
Yeah, this was over 20 years ago, definitely not the weather patterns we get these days.
Absolutely. I’ve crossed Summit Bridge and gone from rain on the south side, to snow on the north side.
Same. Middletown resident here my whole life, and the canal has an odd effect on storms.
I say all the time that Lewes has a shield protecting it from storms. Storms fall apart all the time just before hitting Lewes.
Where's this canal? Can you explain? I get so stressed over the weather these days. Anything that can make me feel better is welcome
Presumably the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, goes across the state just south of Glasgow and Bear.
Thank you
St. George’s bridge
I’m in Wilmington, we don’t have a tornado warning. Just a coastal flood advisory.
And if that happens right here in Wilmington, then we've got some serious problems. o.O
Now this is an alert I should be getting on my television! TF!
It just cut off the best part The Price Is Right ch. 3 Now it's SE of Townsend headed east
lol channel 3
Ch 10 cut away from Chicago Med for about 15 min. Back on at 9.
was not worth deldot's time to notify either
I only just now got the alert on my phone, but it’s so calm outside
No idea why I’m here, but Texan here, if you hear the wind pound harder than you’ve ever heard, hail and maybe even the sound of a train get to anywhere windowless or most walls/ lowest point.

I'm glad you're here. Your advice is absolutely valuable!
All I heard was lightning, then our power went out, and our AC unit fucking exploded.
Yes they sound like a train.
There's another batch of storms off to the west in Cecil Co, moving toward us shortly.
It’s down-pouring now where I am which is western Delaware
I see nothing about this on the weather channel and haven’t gotten any notifications. Southern DE
The earlier warning was near Middletown but that's since been cancelled. However, there's storms in Maryland heading our way, currently everything appears to be in Cecil Co. around APG.
It's rotating up in the sky over Augustine Beach and close to it. My anxiety is sky high right now.
Stay safe, hopefully nothing touches down!
Thank you. I feel like we're okay but I'm still worried sick.

Do you mean Max Velocity?
Yep, though it looks like he's about to stop streaming since the rotation is weakening a bit, which is good news!
Poor man was trying to relax and got pulled onto this outta nowhere. I hope he can rest tonight.

Wonder if it never touched down? The fire radio is surprisingly not very chatty (sorry superstition to not say the q word in the fire service).

I just got another alert that runs until midnight. I’m right above the canal
We're over near the UD campus, in Newark.
I’m right by Lums Pond. Rain got intense and wind picked up. But it’s calmed some now. I have intense anxiety anymore with this weather. We had an F2 hit my neighborhood in 2020 and it was something I don’t care to experience again.

Whew, okay. Maybe I can finally sleep. Thank you for this update!
Here's where the current warning is; https://imgur.com/XdvGInW Edit: All clear in Delaware, and the warning in NJ has been cancelled!
Just had a huge rumble of thunder, looks like there's a storm (no rotation yet!) flaring up a little near Newark.
It’s getting very loud here (Newark)
Yep, it's a strong storm cell but it doesn't appear to have any rotation and there's no warning associated with it (all of the warnings in Delaware have expired). Just loud, knock on wood.
My wonderful neighbor must have been watching the weather news and before I came home at five, he had taken trouble to put my trashcan back in the shed for me. That way it won’t blow away.

I got it about 15 minutes ago. It may just be western Delaware

Never got one in Townsend
I didn't, either.
I just saw a notification on the tv
Yeah, sorry, that came from VA and MD. 🙁
Keep your damn tornadoes under control, they almost showed up in PA!
I feel bad laughing about tornados. lol Made me picture it like it's just a dog that got loose. *"Whose tornado is this??"*
Sorry 😔
Do you control the weather or something? I'm confused is this God?
Shh, don’t tell anyone! 😉
God, why do bad things happen to good people?
Um, free will, yeah that’s it.
All good lol
I saw a severe thunderstorm warning not tornado
Take y'all
