(AP) A sudden summer thunderstorm packing tornado-like winds destroyed a campground, uprooted trees and cut down telephone lines on Sunday.

State police said several people were injured and that there were reports that some persons were missing. "We had what appeared to be a tornado uprooting trees 3 feet in thickness," said trooper William Lees. "Trailer courts are blown over, wires are down." Lees said a campground with an unknown number of tents and campers on Interstate 80 near East Brady "is just obliterated." Lees said police had gotten reports that 10 to 15 persons were missing and presumed drowned in the Allegheny River near East Brady, "but that's not verified." It was not known whether those persons were thought to be campers, or were on the river when the storm struck. Police said telephone lines were knocked out and they could not confirm the extent of the storm damage.

U.S. weather By The Associated Press oaT. (or Heat moves northeast; rain cools off Texas urban Arlington, division returned to work and began operating on a regular weekend schedule. However, that division was only one of seven with a total of 140 drivers. U.S District Judge Louis Oberdorfer issued a temporary restraining order last Thursday against the wildcat walkout.

The walkout was triggered by the metropolitan transit authority's failure to distribute a 20-cents-an-hour cost-of-living allowance in July. The strike forced Metro's daily rider-ship of 500,000 to their cars on Thursday and Friday, causing frayed tempers and worsened air quality in a city suffering its first pollution alert of the year. While traffic returned to normal over the weekend, officials were braced for a repeat of the tie-ups as workers tried to get to their jobs this morning. Washington (AP) A fifth day of a bus and subway strike which has caused massive traffic jams in the Nation's Capital appeared inevitable after transit workers voted at a mass rally Sunday to defy a federal judge's order to return to work. The wildcat walkout by mechanics produced the shutdown of Washington's subway system early Thursday as well as most of the 1,600 buses serving the city and suburban Maryland and Virginia.

After a one-hour meeting, the 200 to 300 workers present voted overwhelmingly to continue the strike. Since the turnout at the meeting represented less than 10 percent of the 4,500 striking bus and train operators and mechanics, officials held out some hope that chinks would begin to develop in the walkout.

A severe thunderstorm watch was posted Sunday night for New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine, the first to feel the effects of the advancing front. In north Texas, cooling showers Saturday and Sunday broke a heat wave that had kept temperatures at or above 100 degrees for most of July and caused at least 21 deaths from heat strokes. The cooler Texas weather was nowhere more evident than at Wichita Falls, where the midday temperature Sunday was 75. That compared with a reading of 114 on July 15 at the height of the heat wave.

And in Dallas, which had readings of 100 degrees or more for 18 straight days, it rained Saturday for the first time since June 7. The midday reading Sunday in Dallas was 75. Elsewhere, Southern California was looking forward to early relief from heavy smog that has stifled the area for a week. The prediction was based on moisture moving in from a tropical depression off the Baja coast. "It will also be cooling off a little bit, so some of the ozone will be escaping to the upper atmosphere and be properly dispersed," said Bruce Elvin, a meteorologist with the South Coast Air Quality Management District.

"It will be a typical Monday for late July." By The Associated Press It was the Northeast's turn in the pressure cooker Sunday, but it finally cooled off in Texas. From Maryland to Maine, high humidity and temperatures flirting with the 100-degree mark drove millions to beaches in search of a cooling breeze or a dip in the water. More than one million people were reported at New York City's Coney Island. "Our biggest day in 15 to 20 years," said publicist Milt Berger. Many of those who couldn't make it to the beaches helped themselves to showers at fire hydrants.

A water emergency was declared in New York because of dangerously low pressure caused by people opening hydrants and Boston officials warned that low pressure there could hamper fire-fighting efforts. The temperature reached 100 degrees in Washington, a record high for the date in the nation's capital. It was 99 in Boston, in New York and Philadelhia and 101 at Westfield, in western Massachusetts. Pollution alerts were issued in Massachusetts, Maine, Connecticut and Rhode Island. The cause of the muggy, oppressive weather was a stagnant high pressure system that has lingered over the Northeast for several days.

But the National Weather Service offered hope Sunday that drier, cooler DOES "NSM" mean anything to you It should for someday it may help you the most.
