Hail, pictured here, fell all over the Philadelphia and Lehigh Valley region on Tuesday as a number of severe storms swept across Pennsylvania.
Storms across the state of Pennsylvania unleashed a range of severe weather Tuesday, including quarter-sized and golf-ball-sized hail and pounding thunderstorms, along with some unusual cloud formations.
Hail has already been reported in Philadelphia's surrounding areas, including Lancaster County, Berks County, and Schuylkill County, and there are now reports of a possible tornado touching down in Berks County near Reading:
TORNADO IN BERKS COUNTY..

Open use to all media. I’m pretty sure this was what was left of the #tornado near #Morgantown @phillywx I was getting shelter under an overpass on the PA Turnpike. @ReadingEagle @69News I saw debris as I exited Morgantown.
