    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) -

    Flooding at rivers and creeks around the area are going through extreme flooding.

    No further rain overnight so still at 5.41" for the event. Currently 62 with dp 57.

    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.

    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.

    The Delaware at Washington Crossing is flooding. I also got a light blip of measurable rain and am now at 5.34" for the day.

    KYW had an alert thingy (I have their audacy app) about Murphy having declared a state of emergency and had called out the National Guard.

    Ugh. I remember when the river flooded pretty badly after the 1996 blizzard when the temp suddenly warmed and then there was some heavy rain. The muddy water lines were clearly visible on the huge plowed snow banks along Kelly Drive near the Falls Bridge and the water had come all the way up and over Ridge Ave. and had probably reached partially up the hills where Calumet or Midvale come down.

    Latest Mt. Holly tweet -

    There is still rain coming down to the west and the river has already flooded way out of its banks in Norristown, so expect it to get a bit higher down there. Back edge is coming soon and has finally stopped (at least with the measurable) here so far. Currently at 5.33" for the event so far (0.56" round 1 and 4.77" for round 2). Currently breezy, overcast, misty and 63 with dp 62.

    WPC 11 pm update (the rainstorm has strengthened to 40 mph, with pressure at 998 mb, and is now zipping along at 28 mph to the NE) -
  24. Hurricane Agnes
    Was just about to post it. The gauge is showing right around flood stage for the Delaware there.

    Getting another heavy blip over me with almost over 3/4" per hr rates and am now up to 5.20" for the event so far. This time I'm getting some winds... It's almost like one of those windy rainy fall days now. Temp is 64 with dp of 63. I think my Stratus holds 11" so hopefully I won't have that much in there when all is said and done when I finally go out to check it for comparison to the station.
