Severe Hailstorm and Damaging Winds Batter Latrobe, PA
LATROBE, PA – March 16, 2025 – A powerful storm swept through Latrobe and surrounding areas, leaving a trail of damage in its wake. According to the **National Weather Service (NWS)**, the storm unleashed hailstones as large as **1.75 inches** in diameter—roughly the size of a golf ball. The intense hail pelted homes, vehicles, and landscapes, leaving many residents dealing with broken windows, dented cars, and shredded foliage.
In addition to the hail, ferocious winds lashed the region. Residents took to social media to share videos and images of sideways rain and hail propelled by gusts reaching up to **70 mph**. The storm’s intensity was further underscored by reports of an **89 mph gust** in both Latrobe and Westmoreland counties, prompting many to voice their concerns.
“These storms are serious!” one local resident posted online, capturing footage of trees bending under the force of the wind and debris scattering across streets.
At Latrobe Airport, wind gusts peaked at **89 mph**, marking the **third-highest recorded wind speed at the site since 1976**. The extreme conditions caused minor structural damage at the airport, though no flights were reported delayed or canceled.
The severity of the storm led to a **Tornado Watch** being issued across multiple Midstate counties, including Westmoreland and neighboring areas. Despite the high winds and destructive conditions, no **Tornado Warning** was officially issued. The lack of an escalation to a warning left some residents frustrated, as they felt the storm's intensity warranted greater caution.
Local authorities reported downed power lines, fallen trees, and scattered debris throughout the region. Power outages affected hundreds of homes, with utility crews working into the night to restore service. Insurance adjusters were already on the scene the following day, assessing property damage. Several homeowners described baseball-sized holes in their siding and significant roof damage. Automobile owners also faced costly repairs due to extensive hail dents and shattered windshields.
Emergency management officials advised residents to remain cautious of lingering hazards, such as weakened tree limbs and debris. The **NWS** also reminded the public to take tornado watches seriously, as sudden wind shifts or intensifications can lead to rapidly developing funnel clouds.
Meteorologists are closely monitoring the region for potential follow-up storms later in the week. Residents are encouraged to stay updated with weather alerts and be prepared with emergency plans in place.
