Hurricane Agnes Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Complete gully washer. Usually with rain like that, it knocks the temps down but it really didn't. Only down a few degees. Definitely will be power outages and trees down. My power just blipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treckasec Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I really didn't think we would have a chance of getting a tornado today. Well, I knew there was the possibility but it usually never happens...We'll see if the couplet remains tight as it makes its way here or if a new one forms.

Haven't seen it that bad in years and years. The sheer wind gusts were incredible. I expect it may have been worse south of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 What should I expect? Might not have too muh time before power goes out because the cable went out. It started out with wind gusts/no rain and then built up to horizontal rain until it was like a hurricane - trees literally bent in half continually for about 5 minutes or so. Blinding rain, alot of cloud-to-ground lightning. Only now are the temps getting knocked back. Power just blipped again. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 My pavement isn't even wet but tons of thunder....some lightning and wind. Glenn is excited.... Wow. I was probably on the northern fringe of the heavier stuff. When I looked SW I saw greenage. I can see the western sky clearing. It's still rockin' and rolling east of here. Getting SEPTA train alerts like mad. Service suspended, etc. Edit add - they just shut all the commuter trains in this area (Chestnut Hill East and West) down until further notice. That must have taken some lines down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stemwinder Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 That looks like quite a hit, going through S Jersey. Just some thunder, and wind here in C NJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBasile Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Had the rotation go right over me at work. That was nasty. My PWS measured a 57 MPH gust. There are trees down. Had pea sized hail as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 .08", rocked! We got about 0.3" of rain out of that. It may have been more further south of me. That tornadic cell was running south across Chesco, Delco, and into Jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTA66 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I can live with an under-preforming severe weather event -- I like having power and NOT having a tree through the roof.

Birds~69 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Overall, this event sucked....pretty much N of Philly. (back to the drawing board) Positive: Temps and DP's are dropping like a rock and a nice sunset. W winds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBasile Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 One of the many trees down at the high school. Some trees fell on cars. I think this tree may have been downed by lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 SEPTA's "trainview" page just put up an announcement - General Announcement: RRD: All regional rail trains are experiencing delays of up to 2 hours due to severe weather and power problems. I think there are probably branches and debris on the tracks and possibly some catenary lines down. That line just roared across the city, bowing as it moved east. And now about 1 1/2 hours later, the front of it is OTS. The line is still solid out over the ocean though. My high today was 91.2F and it's now down to 70.3F.

Lady Di Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Still most impressive line of storms so far this season. Chester county over 50k without power, I'm one of them although rough stuff about 25 ne of me when it came by. No damage to report here, just power out.
