  1. Yes indeed, too close… Good thing that my family went to the basement for about 20 minutes during the Warning. You just can’t take chances in these situations.

  3. 1.96 of rain last night in Marysville. Thoughts & prayers to everyone affected by this severe weather event.
  4. Heavy rain in Marysville, but minimal wind & no hail at this point.
  5. Heavy rain & we have small window in the basement, but it looks super dark outside.
  6. .28 of rain in Marysville from round 1. Another round looks to be on the way with hopefully just beneficial rain.
  7. Back home in Marysville, there was a tree down a few blocks away, unfortunately it landed on their house, but it didn’t appear to cause significant damage.
  8. We just got home from my uncle’s holiday cookout near Mechanicsburg. Crazy wind & side ways rain with thunder & lightning while we waited out the storm. Trindle Road was flooded over, so we turned around & went through downtown Mechanicsburg. There were several huge trees down all over town. Many red lights were out. Even a few lights on the Carlisle Pike were out. Crazy storm!
  9. There is a slight occasional breeze, which is helping a small bit in partially shaded areas.
