the tornadoes will open it up

Makes me think about what happened at the Georgia Dome during the SEC Tournament many years ago. Sorry for the banter.

Back in the old days people used to open up their windows and doors when tornadoes came, thinking they could equalize the pressure differences and prevent devastating damage.....

Wild damage photos from the Philly area. EF-4 rating seems possible based on this. Look at the uprooted bush in the foreground!

Unrelenting rains.. it’s insane 

[Gravity Wave]

Then there's this, the forward speed is extremely impressive.

US Open going on with the roof closed. Not sure that's a great idea with what's going on....

You're right....in the old days they'd keep the roof open to equalize the pressure differences.

Winds are definitely S out here in massapequa and temp has to have gone up 5 degrees at least

Historically speaking and regarding the severe weather aspect of this would you rank this higher than November 1989 and Labor Day 1998?  Those are the only two I could compare the level of tornadic activity we are seeing compared to this event.

 

Not in the same league- at least in the Philly area.

[MJO812]

Insanity right now

[Allsnow]

Insane rainfall rates currently. Over 4 inches and counting 

[doncat]

Had about 3.25" in three hours...3.75" so far.

They should have just called it for the night. No one should be out right now.

Labor Day 1998 and the May 31 - June 2 dual outbreaks earlier that year largely avoided the Philly area apart from some straight line winds from the edge of the derecho. IDK about 1989.

[nycsnow]

Strongest winds of the day right now 

[MJO812]

Bad summer 

Bad winter ?

[kat5hurricane]

Torrential wind driven rain that's been persistent for about 30 minutes now. Wild stuff out there.

Yeah I dont think I remember any EF3 or higher tornadoes in the area before this summer.

 

[Stormlover74]

Im legit scared at how heavy the rain is and the radar. Sump pump is already going off like crazy.  The models that had 6 to 8" for central and ne nj may wind up being right on the money

seems all the tornado warnings are now expired

an advantage of living on long island, we usually avoid all this Oklahoma type weather stuff

 

[doncat]

Warm front thru...temp went from 67 to 72.

They stupidly built Armstrong Stadiums with openings on the side. When you have wind driven rain it can rain inside. 

[wdrag]

Rainfall thru 815PM... note the 5's in NJ. 

[nycsnow]

Big gust now wow!
