  1. Exactly my sentiment. My family gets so angry at me for it because they don't understand...
  2. Thanks Maytown! Staying overnight, but got the Eagles game on, so all is good...lol
  3. Thanks! Been out of surgery for about 4 hours now, and sure am sore in the front throat area, especially swallowing. They are keeping me overnight for observation, but have said I'm doing good!
  4. Just saw this. Thanks! As for Florence, I'd think her high latitude is going to make things interesting. She's way north (23.4n vs <20n) of where she should be to be a legitimate threat. But if there's one thing we learned this past year or so is that what should happen (re-curve and a fish storm) may not be the actual end result. Still a long way out, but the WAR has been a major player this spring and summer, and she could just keep heading toward the coast under the right conditions.
  5. YTD totals are pretty impressive this year. Even here in Tamaqua, where we missed the heaviest of the rain in all of the events, my total is 49.08 inches.
  6. OK, someone... Does anyone know what makes the Tremont/Pine Grove area such a magnet for heavy rain? Once again, per a reliable source, Tremont is beginning to flood again, and if one looks at current radar, there is a heavy cell that is just sitting stationary in that area. Other cells are moving northeast, but not that one.
  7. I honestly didn't expect this much pre fropa rain, but I've got 0.58" already with nothing more than garden variety type showers.
  8. The Pottsville, Saint Clair, Port Carbon area really took it on the chin today. In Port Carbon alone, reports are that 200 homes have some kind of water damage.
  9. Yeah really. I've been following your posts because we both seemed to be missing out on the best rains. Today we both kind of made up for it. Mine wasn't as epic as yours, but still not as bad as previous days/weeks.
  10. To a weather geek like me, that is a disheartening image. It's almost a carbon copy of July's firehose. the same areas keep getting it over and over again. Me? I end up on the fringe. Just enough rain to make it miserable, but not enough to make it interesting...
  11. They do appear to have moved east a bit, per radar. When I woke this morning, though, it looked like the same firehose from July. Up through Lebanon, Pine, Grove, Tremont, and northward...
  12. July redux... The Susquehanna Valley is getting it once again this morning, while areas to the east of I-81 get fringed. If I took a radar image from the last week of July, this morning's radar would look almost exactly the same.... Just an amazing, frustrating pattern...
  13. Congrats to you, your nephew. and the team on a great accomplishment!
  14. That line farther north produced about 3.5" in Reading and Allentown. Parts of the Musikfest festival grounds along the Monocacy Creek in Bethlehem flooded this morning.
  15. I hear ya. The heaviest rain in Tamaqua, both last week and this week, was on days that I worked and was out of the area.
  16. Wow... That's incredible. You are more snake bit in your location than I am in mine. I'm almost ashamed to be complaining about being fringed today.
  17. Thing is, where they hit and miss seems to stay in the same areas. I've got flood warnings all around me to the south, north, and east, but for the most part I got fringed with less than an inch for the day...
  18. A deluge to my southeast, but nothing here but mist and drizzle. Pathetic...
  19. Up here we've been fringed all day. Storms to the west and east, and now this evening's festivities are mostly east. Whatever manages to get close fizzles out. Just take a look at CTP's map. The warnings are up in Berks, Lehigh, Carbon, and Luzerne. An almost complete wrap around of Schuylkill and Tamaqua.
  20. It's certainly been a case of the haves vs the have nots the past couple of weeks. Some areas just keep getting slammed while others get barely anything.
  21. 1.76" for August 1st. 0.88" this morning, and 0.88" from the evening storms.
  22. Surprise, surprise... I got a nice little overnight/early morning thump here in Tamaqua. 0.88" as of 8:30am.
