    Just tried mowing out back since it takes a long time to dry out, and the rains came. Wound up with 0.53" total last night. Currently 80F with DP in saunaville.

    Perfect timing for me...just completed the lawn/trim  (lost a pound sweating) and showers and such about to move in. 83F / DP70

    And it just turned into a giant blob of never ending rain.  Been raining for hours now with what looks like hours left.  

    Yeah, nothing intense just a large patch of rain. I really thought it would be out of here by now. (3:10am) Looks like it won't move out before 5am or so.

    Thanks.  I shot that photo only a couple miles from my house.  I headed out when the storm moved into Jersey figuring I had some time, but the southern part of that storm bowed out a bit and accelerated.  I couldn't believe how quickly it was on top of me.  I had to grab my camera and run out into the field before I missed it.  I think that storm may have been topped near 40 kft, but I may be mistaken.  

    They were some of the quickest moving storms in recent memory. (I think I heard  60-65mph?) Imagine if they were slow moving w/the winds cranking for extended periods....would have been a real mess.

    The overnight low inside was 77F, so I gave in and turned on the AC this morning.

    Turned it on for the first time yesterday afternoon when the sun came out and became supper muggy. Probably keep it on till Sat-Sun when the drier/cooler air moves in and the windows open....

    No word from PECO when power will be restored, but I’m thinking several days. Two large trees are down on my property and the wires are under one of them.

    Fortunately no damage to the house. Amazing how localized events like this are—the other end of my neighborhood looks completely untouched.

    Neighbors tree was uprooted...chainsawing it now. We have power though. I think Hatfield was whacked as well.
