    Yes it feels like summer outside for sure.

    Severe T Storm warning issued for a wide area. The alert says to be on the lookout for a tornado but so far none indicated.
  3. mattinpa
    Please no tornado threat. I just can’t take that again. Seems heavy rain is the main threat.

    It felt even hotter than that. I was roasting more than most days mid summer. Glad better temps are coming even if there is some wetness coming with them.

    Now 7 confirmed tornadoes. I feel the NWS did a great job. While outbreaks like this are rare in our area, the tornado risk was talked about as much higher than normal. And they nailed the heavy rains. The emergency alerts also likely saved lives. I had 5 alerts on my phone, all flood warnings. But each time I checked in case of a tornado coming.

    The toll comment was funny but I didn’t want to make light of it with a laugh smiley. So I will just thank you for the good posts and updates.

    Hope you are safe and thanks for checking in. I was lucky. House had no flooding and even though the power went out once and flickered a few more times overnight, I retained power. I saw Collegeville is one of the places with a lot of outages.

    Power just went out for a few minutes. Back on now so perhaps they were working on it.

    Still under a flood emergency but everything is ok at my house. It appears central/northern Montco stayed in the heavy rain threat more than the severe threat. I feel for everyone cleaning up. Tomorrow will unfortunately be a busy day for surveyors and those affected.

    Agreed. The rain and tornado threat has been talked about for days. But boy was that one tornado large. I am even wondering if it was an EF-4.

    Is there anything specifically that is making the region like the Midwest this summer? I have been in the area since 1990 and have seen nothing like this.
  12. mattinpa
    Kate Bilo said she doesn’t remember a destructive tornado warning being issued in this region before - and now two just this summer.
  13. mattinpa
    Here too. Can hardly see outside!
  14. mattinpa
    I wonder if I have to worry about a warning here as that heads north. I am staying aware.
  15. mattinpa
    I hope it is a quick mover. Having heavy rain and this lasting all day wouldn’t be good.
  16. mattinpa
    Yep, this is the first real hint of fall that I have felt.
  17. mattinpa
    Yikes - that’s no fun. Hope it gets restored quickly. Rain here but not as heavy as just nearby.
  18. mattinpa
    I’m getting the heaviest rain of the last few days right now. A little windy also.
  19. mattinpa
    Well I am happy that the rain hasn’t been catastrophic. More will come but looks manageable.
  20. mattinpa
    Thanks. I am on a hill and don’t usually flood, but I have to go out tomorrow so will watch road conditions. At least “showers” would be better.
  21. mattinpa
    Thanks all. So will it be clearing out tomorrow afternoon?
  22. mattinpa
    That’s a good explanation. Hope for the faster moving then! What time are we supposed to see the worst of what comes? I am supposed to be out tomorrow.
  23. mattinpa
    Well just like in the winter, heavy bands like that don’t always work out. Hoping for the lesser 1-2” amounts at worst.
  24. mattinpa
    Yikes - luckily that does better in the very short range
  25. mattinpa
    Well even I got into the emergency alert action, and I wasn’t in the tornado path. It was just a TV test but scared me for a minute.
