Camp Hill declares state of emergency in aftermath of storms

Flint Hill Baptist Church members partnered with The Salvation Army Friday and provided free meals to Camp Hill residents following the March 26 storms. 

The Town of Camp Hill issued a proclamation Friday, which officially declared the town in a state of emergency after the community suffered extensive storm damage this week.  

According to the proclamation, straight-line winds, lightning and softball-sized hail significantly damaged public and private property — with the hail on March 26 being particularly destructive.
