JamieOber Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Starting to look like Central counties may be spared between stuff to east and west. I've thought that the last several days and learned not to assume anything from the early afternoon radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieOber Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 So my brother, who lives in Manchester in York County, emailed me and said how brown his grass is and how these storms are very hit and miss and wondered when a drought watch will be issued. I said to him he obviously lives in the only area in PA to not get heavy rain and he was skeptical, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You better tell him not to play the lottery anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NortheastPAWx Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 So far only 0.16" today and that was deep in the overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he does do this every year, and every year, like clockwork, if he doesn't think it's going to rain and there will be a terrible drought it rains. In 2011, he really thought there would be a drought and that any rain was hit or miss...and then we had some of PA's worst flooding in history.

Itstrainingtime Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 It has been very dry here in Maytown as well. We've had about .25" over the past 10 days. Every day I sit and watch every storm go north, south, east or west of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 There's got to be a pretty big discrepancy in Harrisburg and MDT numbers, too. Blizzard, out in Linglestown, has probably a pretty big dropoff from the city itself in the past few weeks. It's a weird pattern, ready for it to leave (though it's helped keep the temps bearable) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pawatch Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 .033" from the storms last night. Few rain showers today but nothing steady so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny and Warm Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 My son works for the railroad. He is currently up at Beech-creek trying to rebuild the tracks. He said the destruction is unreal. People he has talked to said they got 5" of rain in an hour. Anyone confirm that? I'm from that area, and we once (1982 I believe) got 6" in 80 minutes. It's actually scary to see it rain that hard for that long. Only seen storms like that happen twice in my life, and am okay not to see it again. It's like being under a waterfall. The flash flooding both times was horrendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday we stopped by Wegmans quickly; when we went in it was raining there and not at Target. When we came out it was not raining at Wegmans but was at that Mexican place right down the Pike. We walked over to Target and it hadn't ever rained a drop. Probably 60 yards separate the stores. Crazy stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel Highlands Wx Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 In the last 10 days I have measured about 4.25 inches of rain. So if anyone needs rain feel free to come to my house and suck all the moisture from our swampy yard. If you have a powerful enough shop vac.

NeffsvilleWx Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 yeah, i think Millersville had almost 2 1/2" yesterday. Weird, MU's data doesn't have anything recorded for the 30th and only 0.01" for the 1st. My mom lives in centerville and she said it absolutely poured around 3-4 am. I recorded 1.5" at the same time, although I'm a decent distance away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 From PEMA:"PEMA reports that a Norfolk Southern Propane rail car caught fire at 55 Maibach Lane in Mount Joy Township, Lancaster County. The rail car is holding 180,000 gallons of fuel and is fully engulfed in flames. There are exposure and explosion concerns. There is an evacuation of an unknown radius beginning at this time. Please stay away from the area of Rt 230 east of between Rt 283 and Mount Joy Boro line." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 That sucks, hope it doesn't explode the neighboring tankers. Sun's been out here for two hours. Hasn't rained a drop since we were put in a flood watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
