And right near gap and east of strasburg, that is where you see this injection of drier air pushing into the storm and that is what hooked the storm and created that tornado just south of east earl and then fell apart as it lifted to the north and east approaching honey brook and the border of chester county. The setup in the atmosphere has to be prime. And it was. We had upper level energy, a spin called rotisserie, piping from atlantic and philadelphia, about 18,000 feet up, that started to spin the atmosphere and then a jet stream called a jet streak 150 miles above that from the south and west and then a low level jet coming in from the south and east that added more moisture, all of that moving in Different Directions and the atmosphere started to turn the thunderstorms not only locally here but also in virginia and North Carolina.
