  1. Wow. I guess it briefly became a waterspout going over the water and that Delaware River water must have been worse than drinking Schuylkill Punch and just killed the thing.
  2. Still getting the light to moderate rain and am over that 5" mark (currently 5.05" total for today). Temp is down to 64 and there are now some city near stem creeks and rivers out of their banks! Schuylkill at Norristown flooding, Wissahickon has leveled off since it's probably completely covering Lincoln Drive. Schuylkill at the falls is just above flood stage and the Schuylkill at 30th St. is getting close to flood stage.
  3. I have had on and off heavy rain and am currently at 4.96" for the event with light rain (4.4" from round 2). The big news here is that the temp is down to 65 with dp 65, so definitely cooler and probably more stable here. Radar still has a back edge back in Lancaster County with what looks like some heavier returns further east so expect to get over the 5" mark at some point overnight.
  4. Those poor people up in North Jersey including the New Brunswick area have been getting the heaviest bands just raining over them for a couple hours.
  5. I would think pure adrenaline and love for the job. I will say - you can't say they didn't "warn" people. TORs and FFWs have been flying all afternoon and evening and good use of the EAS because that damage looks pretty bad from the tornadoes. And we haven't even seen the poor people who keep getting flooded out by the creeks they may live near.
  6. Rain has let up a bit and down to about 1/2"/hr but am now at 4.03" for the event (3.47" for round 2), so the calls for " 4" - 6" " in the I95 corridor have definitely verified. There are some other streaky blobs to the west and am not sure if they will go over me but, we shall see.
  7. Theoretically, that is what the NAM was designed to do. I know people have made fun of it over the years but I think whatever they did to improve it a year or so ago, seemed to have helped.
  8. Stay safe. That was probably the only thing to get you out of summer hibernation. I'm at 1.5"/hr rain and am up to 2.81" so far for the event. Temp and dp both 75. Windows steamed.
