  1. As far as I know - Weather World is the Penn State University TV show based on their PSU meteorologists. Accuweather headquarters  is in State College,  but is totally independent of Weather World and has no overlap of the forecasters. My son has worked for both (now at Accuweather as an on air guy) and in his earlier years worked at Weather World. Other than being located in the same town and some of the Accuweather team being graduates of PSU there is no other relationship.  They each create their own forecast.

  2. Worcester 3.04" at my location.  4.5" at a friend's location about 4 miles away toward North Wales.

    Locally the worst was in the Upper Merion area. Many car water rescues and a few home rescues with water up to the first floor windows. This was all this AM. Other than the runoff fed streams everything has receded.

     

  3. For those of you with Direct TV - the Accuweather Network is now on air 24 hours a day. This change took place today Aug 1st.  (I'm a little partial as my son, is one of their on air meteorologists.)  They have made some significant changes with much more live coverage and several new severe weather reporters running all over the country to cover big weather events. He is from Montgomery  County,  Pa and loves severe and winter weather reporting.

  4. Worcester, PA

    Sat .76

    Sun .99

    Mon .07

    Tuesday 1.26   (through 8:15 AM) mostly around 2 AM

    ---

    Total for the ongoing event 3.08"

     

    Most of the action remains to the west - but appears to be creeping east,  - still too far west based on the current radar. Impressive feed from all the way down the coast to east of the tip of FL.

  5. Worcester, PA.  Some day time pictures of my tree damage in Worcester last night. .  Must have been strong winds blowing from s to n.  (not the usual nw to se.  )  (The top of the tree fell to the north over my neighbors fence).  I don't see any sign of a lightning hit, but not sure. It snapped off about 15' above the ground.   No other tree damage in my neighborhood other than a pin oak of mine with a huge limb 20' off the ground broken but still attached.   Further away - mile or so I did see some smaller limbs down. Looks like I am the big winner (or loser) in my area. There was other damage throughout the county as well as se pa, NJ, etc. as you know.

  6. Worcester - 1.32 " of rain but in my backyard the big deal was the wind. Lost a large white pine (maybe 40' high??)    Snapped (or twisted???) off 1/3 up from the ground. Took out my neighbors fence as well. I was not home and missed all the action.  I will look in the AM to see if there is an evidence of a lightning hit.
