Worst part of all of this, tomorrow offers an opportunity for even more destructive winds affecting an even larger area. That's in addition to the flash flood potential tomorrow into Monday night.

Explain this to me. They put out a flash flood warning. Then an hour after they put that out, they lower the river forecast from 2.30’ to 1.44’ not even close to high water. “For Williamsport “

I’d assume the warning was for urban runoff

That's a good question. I guess maybe it takes a few days for rivers to start responding to runoff? I know that the Susquehanna here in Marietta doesn't reach its crest until several days after rain has ended.

A flash flood watch is way different than a river flood watch

Here in Carlisle at 2:30pm...the temperature has risen quickly to a high so far of 90.9 degrees with a dew point of 75.0 degrees.  For the fourth consecutive day the heat index has risen to above 100 degrees at 102.0.  It has been at least partly to mostly sunny here for the past few hours after remaining overcast for most of the entire morning.

While I am fortunate to not have lost power, I did lose internet (via Comcast) last night around 8:00pm, and it's still out.  I'm tethered to my phone for providing temporary internet through T-Mobile.

The tree damage in the area blows 2009  away. There's not even any comparison to be had.
The power outage numbers over here have not so much as moved an inch all day. I've never seen it this bad. Hotels are charging $150-$300 a night. It's ridiculous

I know brother. I don't just base what I say off phone calls from family,  internet stories, or just the view out my window.  I actually go out and put in my own work and see for myself. It's definitely a unprecedented scale.
