Between 7pm and 8pm, Tuesday evening, some rather serious looking storms blew over Schuylkill County.  While these storms looked serious, they only dumped a small amount of rain and had some moderate winds with them.  None of which, caused any damage.

They did offer us some amazing shots.


These are some photos that were sent to us from around Schuylkill County:
