Nothing on the big one near Philly yet?

 

I checked out the damage near Hellertown. Looks like a downburst to me

I do but not attached yet.  I need to get it set up at the right elevation for the anemometer.  I'm always worried about critters lol.  The last one I had, the squirrels chewed through the wires.  (well I think it was the squirrels).

 

Use one that is wireless to keep the critters at bay.  You can mount it on a deck or fence post if you don’t want to go up to your roof (a shed/garage roof will work fine).

Thanks so much!  Hopefully all 3 escaped the wind damage that occurred further to the south?

 

Do you have a weather station at your place?

Mt. Holly has confirmed 2 EF1 tornadoes in Ocean Cty., NJ yesterday.  One was in Watertown and the other in the Cedar Bridge area of Barnegat Twp.

They are up and running so I guess they did.

I checked on the Davis site.  Stations in Lake Harmony and Blakeslee recorded 1.08” and 1.00” respectively in the past 24 hours. These are the closest sites to your community.

I will add that a station in Lehighton had 1.18”

This looks like something that would happen in the South lol.

I wonder how much rainfall and winds my other home got in Jim Thorpe (near Albrightsville and Penn Forest township.)  I'm going up there on Saturday.  Do you have any numbers or reports out of there?

I wonder what the EF number on that PA tornado will be?  Scary stuff!  It got 20 miles NE of Philly, and I thought it was going to hit Allentown!

We didn't get much here on Long Island, just light rains.

They have a big job ahead of them with the storm surveys.  The longer length tracks are going to run from about Solebury, PA to Hamilton Square, NJ.  It looks like there were touchdowns near Lakehurst, NJ and Barnegat, NJ.  The track across south central NJ could be longer because much of it was in less populated and heavily wooded areas so no immediate reports are available.  The more violent tornado(s) near Bensalem and Trevor had shorter tracks.  There are also shorter tracks to be possibly documented near Allentown.  If you have not already done so look at the video posted by Newman on the Philly sub forum of the spectacular tornado near Lebanon, PA.  I am basing my comments upon the live radar reports that I saw on NBC 10 yesterday evening.  Those folks did a good job tracking these storms.

There was a debris ball signature on radar, I'm not sure that's ever happened before up here.

Allentown had 3" of rain?

Have not seen any reports yet about rain amounts from Allentown.  Had 0.68” here.

I am thinking they find EF2 perhaps EF3 damage in Bucks Cty after they complete the surveys.  The upside if there is any is they will not have to travel too far from the WFO to do this.

Little bit but not on NJ.  Eating lobster.  Needed time to unwind, even supposedly retired.  Natures watering has made for fantastic gardens

Mt. Holly did a fantastic job with timely warnings yesterday.  Amazing video coming out this morning of the damage in Bucks Cty.  Very fortunate that there were no deaths or serious injuries that occurred from the tornados moving through these densely populated areas.

Pay attention to that line moving SE from northern PA.  That should reach NW NJ in another hour or so and it looks healthy right now.

The damage paths from these tornadoes extend all the way SE from near me in the Allentown/Bethlehem area to the Trenton area and then across NJ.  There are places only a few miles from my location that have damage.  Mt. Holly is going to have an enormous job documenting all this.  It is conceivable that there could be 50 miles or more of verifiable tornado damage on the ground in their CWA.

He was talking about our sub.  Most of it was south in the Philly sub.  

 

Some sick stuff this evening.   I've never seen some of the radar representations in NJ that I saw today.  Crazy.   Legit tornadoes.  

I do not ever remember something like this in the region.  Last tornado of the night is only now moving off shore near Barnegat, NJ.

New tornado warning near Manahawkin, NJ

I am watching live coverage of storm damage in Bucks Cty PA on the app for NBC 10.  It looks like a scene out of the Deep South.

New tornado warning for Ocean Cty, NJ.  Area under the gun is just NW and N of Lakehurst NJ
