    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 -

    You all looked like you had a rain band just training over that area for hours.

    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.

    WPC 5 am update (no change in winds, pressure, forward motion) -
  18. Hurricane Agnes
    Flooding at rivers and creeks around the area are going through extreme flooding.
  19. Hurricane Agnes
    No further rain overnight so still at 5.41" for the event. Currently 62 with dp 57.
  20. Hurricane Agnes
    Was still getting on and off rain and finished up with 5.41" for the day (since it is now past midnight). Any additional will make it a 2-day event. There's still a little back edge left so maybe a couple hundredths more might be added on if that. Currently overcast and 63 with dp 63.

    Here is the latest - 3 hour delayed (for state workers) so appears the state will be open but the rivers haven't all crested yet so stay tuned because that might change.
  22. Hurricane Agnes
    The 100 year ones are annual though, so there's that.

    Mt. Holly had posted a Climatology section in the AFD earlier this afternoon. I think it is safe to say that several sites including PHL broke a record for today!

    The wildest thing though was that there was some huge tree trunk that had washed down the river with the currents that literally got wedged near the top of one of the stone arches of one of the (I think) railroad bridges that goes over the river near there. It was literally wedged straight across and it stayed up there for almost a year before someone finally removed it. There used to be pics of it on the internet years ago but I haven't been able to find one recently.

    Schuylkill at 30th St. right at flood stage downtown.
