    I cant remember a remnant storm that caused so much devastation. Cat 4 (nearly 5) landfall with a trough interaction taking it towards a perfect track ENE into the area. A storm many from Louisiana to New England will never forget

    House's leveled or completely destroyed, cars blown around and picked up, trees/power lines completely stripped and sheared. Just things you don't see in south Jersey. Chasing behind the tornado (we couldn't see it because of the RFD and rain shield), we were apparently 1-2 minutes behind it and transformers were blowing everywhere so we knew we were right on it. Unfortunately (fortunately?) we didn't catch a clear view of the twister, but eh there's plenty of videos out on Twitter of it. We set up base just a smidge to the SE of the rotation in an open field to catch the best, yet safest, view possible. The inflow into the supercell was incredible. The wind howled and had an eerie whistle. Like a train. We saw a rotating wall cloud directly in front of us, but as soon as it passed us trees began to obscure the view. But we knew it was there, the radar velocity signatures were getting stronger. So we paralleled the storm and tried hard to catch up. At one point, we made a right instead of going straight which may have saved our lives. Like I said, we were 1-2 minutes behind the storm, well if we had gone straight and not detoured we would have driven directly into it.

    I chased the Mullica Hill NJ tornado yesterday, here are some damage photos for anyone interested. At first, my chase team intercepted the apparent Oxford tornado, it was rain wrapped so we couldn't see anything. We then headed to NJ for one last gasp and got more than we bargained for.

    Listening to some of the folks from this neighborhood, one person said "You know I NEVER took these warnings seriously. My wife used to always get pissed about it. Now look..."

    I tried compressing some of the images, I'll post some of the damage photos I took from Mullica Hill here.

    That's my photo on the bottom!! My 4 chaser friends and I were posting to Twitter and what not. This neighborhood that got destroyed isn't a trailer park, or low-end socioeconomic area. No, these are massive houses absolutely leveled. I can't describe what I saw yesterday in words, you truly have to see it to believe it. Straight out of Oklahoma

    I chased Mullica Hill with 4 other friends guys. Un-*******-believable damage. I've never seen anything like this in my life. At least an EF4. Saw the wall cloud and strong rotation, but we were in an open field to the SE of the storm away from it. We then drove on the backside of the storm and caught the damage. House's leveled, trees absolutely sheared apart. My images are too big to post here for some reason

    @CoolHandMike How's the flooding in Berks?
  11. Newman
    Flooding is getting bad in Lancaster. And we've got hours left, not looking good. Also, low level rotation will be hard to pick up, especially far away from radars. So keep that in mind...

    Geez flooding has started to get really bad here in Millersville. And we've got hours of this left
  13. Newman
    Millersville University just cancelled classes and will be closing at 1pm

    South and East of that line has the best shot at tornados later. Lancaster seems to be in an odd spot: not exactly in the "heaviest" rain axis but also not SE enough for the best Tornado chance. However, I assume as this begins to shift a bit east the axis of rain will also shift with it

    WPC forecast

    Don't see either of these too often. High Risk in Flooding and 10% tor probs

    From the Flash Flood Watch * The remnants of Hurricane Ida will pass through the region Wednesday through early Thursday morning. Periods of heavy rain and scattered thunderstorms associated with this low will result in widespread 3 to 5 inches of rain, with locally higher amounts likely exceeding 6 inches by Thursday morning. Combined with wet antecedent conditions, this will lead to numerous instances of flash flooding, some of which may be significant

    Euro absolutely blasts the area with heavy rains from Ida, some of this does include convection/rains before Wednesday

    Here's a live stream for the local FOX news station in New Orleans: https://www.fox8live.com/livestream/

    Big ol' dry slot across SE PA, winter has come early?

    Yeah radar is really starting to blossom all across the region. These bands are no joke, we'll see how far inland they stretch and which place sets up as the pivot point
  24. Newman
    They're slowly starting to drift westward. Parts of western Chesco and eastern Lanco already have recorded over 1" of rain.
  25. Newman
    Parts of western Chesco and eastern Lanco have a Flood advisory up. Some cells have been stationary over there
