Pouring now.
Looks like this has sped up some looking at radar. Might see an inch out of this, but the rain shield is definitely progressing eastward at a faster clip compared to the crawl that was going on all day to my west.
Moving parallel to the front. Slowww progression.
The wind has been the story here. Not a fan, but it was impressive in the warm sector ahead of the front. Lots of crap to clean up over the next couple days.
There were some 50 mph gusts here that day but not as persistent as today. It was worse up this way over in Delaware. Probably is today too. Would not be surprised to see reports of over 60.
Its actually interesting here being in the woods. You can really get a sense of the strong winds aloft mixing down. Can literally hear the roar up at the the tops of the trees and see them moving violently. I am getting debris in my yard from types of trees I don't have anywhere near the house. My driveway is a mess of branches.
Wind has gotten insane here.
Big oak tree just went down on the lot next door. It wasn't healthy but still.
Lots of small branches and debris coming down everywhere.
It takes a lot to get flooding over here. Its quite flat, and the soil is generally well drained. It does happen though, but it takes some seriously heavy rain over the same areas to legit flood. And then it recedes pretty quickly.
I'm heading to Kent Island tomorrow to donate blood. I try to do it every 2-3 months. This should be interesting. The protocol is different- had to make an appointment, and only 2 donors are permitted on the bus at a time. Masks are required ofc.
That works!
Prince was iconic. Probably a top 10 all time guitarist. Highly subjective ofc.
eta- Indisputably one of the best performers of all time. Probably up there with Freddie Mercury in the rock genre.
