The only thing tree wise this compares to around here is Isabel and Sandy. The one guy a couple streets over with it Davis weather station that's placed pretty well recorded almost a 75 mile per hour wind gust before the power went out

Never have I had wind rock my ford around. I wish we could post videos here. I was actually getting pretty nervous while sitting at the mechanicsburg middle school. I'm going to sleep on it, but today's storme most likely makes it into my top five, and certainly the best I think i've experienced since 2011.

My mistake 11:00 pm tuesday, for some of the residents out this way. That's probably mostly b*******, though.I'd imagine it's going to be  long before that for most people if not everyone. 
They sent that out here as well it was basically a mass text everywhere. Got to think they're probably running on skeleton crews and they just had one of the single worst blowdowns and a decade

No shortage of crews and people still out here clearing debris out of roads and off of homes. Fireworks and generators glore out here tonight.

Here in Carlisle...it appears that my immediate area, about 1 mile south of I-81 at the Hanover St. exit 47, were spared the severe aspects of the warned storm back around 6:30pm.  No hail.  I estimate max wind gusts of 35-45mph briefly as the downdraft came blowing through.  I only ended up with 0.11" of rain.

The thermometer broke the century mark for the 3rd day in a row, reaching 100.8 around 4:00pm.  Yesterday's high was 102.0 and Thursday's high was 101.6.  I'm almost positive this is the first time in my life that I have recorded 3 consecutive days of 100+ degree readings.  Another event here that I had never previously experienced before was back in January when for 4 consecutive nights my low temperature dropped to zero and below, the lowest being my all-time lowest recorded minimum temperature of -9.6 degrees F.  That was during the 3-week long cold wave we all experienced right after the snowstorm that dumped 7.5" here but widespread totals east of here.  Some stations saw 18" out towards Lancaster county and further east.  Thankfully, the end of this torrid heatwave has finally arrived with much needed rainfall coming and with temps only in the 70's the next several days and then 80's for the remainder of the 7-day forecast.
