    Mt. Holly tweeted the Oxford results (full report still being done) as EF1 -

    Thanks! Was waiting for that. They also posted the one for Upper Makefild.

    Yeah I'm trying to capture their assessments - they just posted another in Bucks (still getting strength assessment) - They did post a 5:45 pm PNS with what they have confirmed as tornadoes and the one in Oxford was confirmed as one but is still being evaluated like the Mullica Hill & Upper Makefield ones (to get the scale) -

    EF0 now confirmed by Mt. Holly in Princeton -

    Thank you and I know i'm bad.... When I saw pics of it posted blowing past the tolls, I couldn't help it. I don't know what all the damage was for that one but fortunately it was "only" a EF1. I did see a post in the thread to a video on facebook as it crossed the river and then apparently the gulp of water seemed to have done it in and it looked like it dissipated not long after (for the most part).

    Another confirmed - one in Bucks County (Buckingham) -

    Another just heard on KYW - The tornado that didn't pay a toll going over the Burlington-Bristol bridge was confirmed as an EF1 -

    Just heard on KYW that the Montco tornado was confirmed as an EF2. Mt. Holly tweet -

    It is a PITA when it comes to anything to do with "water" and "flooding" because they'll say you need "flood insurance" (which is basically only offered by the government via whoever they use). It comes down to how the damage is described and worded. Really really sorry to hear that you got walloped multiple times where you live. Wishing you luck for whatever you decide to do.

    WPC updated rainfall totals -

    I had posted a 4-panel combo of different views (including the CC) from my GR2Analyst of it earlier in the thread. Have been wanting to capture a 3-D volumetric of one (kinda tricky to get since they aren't always on the ground that long around here).

    I think pretty much all of us would give them major props for warning about this event - both the tornadoes and flash floods. One of my former co-workers alerted to a tweet by someone who was staying in a hotel in Ft. Washington, PA where a suspected tornado occurred and had some video from his perspective from the hotel bathroom - Also found another with a different view of the Mullica Hill tornado -

    I can image. They are going to have to maybe run big dredger pumps to get some of that water out of there. I know there are drains along the road but a this point, they are obviously clogged with mud and debris. Geez.

    Mt. Holly tweeted about the Mullica Hill tornado and the radar presentation - I'm still learning what to look for in the different radar products so this is great...

    Wait, but there's more - What looks like a "canal" or small "river" in the above pic is actually the ROADWAY for the Expressway that is under water (it is below street level with numbered streets that cross over it at intervals). This is what it normally looks like -

    I literally used that every morning going to work. From where I am in Chestnut Hill, my whole route was along creeks (Cresheim, Wissahickon) and rivers (Schuylkill and finally to my office 2 blocks from the Delaware River). That's why the last time it was like that during Floyd, I had to use Broad Street up most of the way north and then cut over through Germantown going west... and then try to find a few high and dry streets to get home. Took 3 hours for what would normally be a 30 minute (no traffic) to 45 minute (during heavier rush hours) trip to do the route.

    I just found this - the entrance to the Vine St. Expressway at 22nd St. (going eastbound) coming off of both the little ramp from the Ben Franklin Parkway and from I-76 (Schuylkill Expressway) - Apparently the "Logan Square" neighborhood that is adjacent to that was flooded, including the brand new Giant Supermarket near there at ~23rd and Cherry St.

    Was looking for something else and found this yikes! I think the first image in the video is the waterfall on the Schuylkill near the Waterworks, the 2nd is that Schuylkill River trail, am guessing the 3rd was done maybe from a boat going under the main bridges going over the Schuylkill downtown (e.g., Market St., Chestnut St., Walnut St., etc), not sure where the 4th was unless it was somewhere in Manyunk, and the 5th is insane - that is the Vine St. Expressway (I-676) that runs parallel to Vine St. "local", and is beneath the street level (with numbered streets going overhead, which I think are those from 21st down to 6th St - I used to use it eastbound to commute to work every day in the mornings, but never the afternoons) - that was apparently completely flooded.

    My low actually dropped to 60 this morning and am currently mostly sunny and 67 with dp 57.

    WPC preliminary precipitation totals for 9/1 - 9/2/21 -

    I saw the pics of the water pouring into the subway stations and over the moving subway cars like waterfalls. I really don't know what one can do about that happening other than finding some way to "cover" every station stairway, which is impossible.

    Mt. Holly tweeted a map of where they plan to investigate suspected tornadoes -
  23. Hurricane Agnes
    You all looked like you had a rain band just training over that area for hours.
  24. Hurricane Agnes
    I already did not long after midnight. Literally out within 15 minutes when I did. Got up at ~4:45 am. Being retired = being able to take a nap whenever I want during the day.

    NWS MARFC retweeted KYW coverage - As a comparison - this was a pic of the same location (this is around 30th Street Station) at around 2 am (this is where the Schuylkill Expressway goes under the street level along the river) - If the level hits the progged 19 ft. that may put the Schuylkill Express way shown above, under water.
