  1. The new PA license plate is ugly as sin and I will fight anyone who disagrees.
  2. They’re ok. A huge pine tree is blocking their driveway and they were told they’d be without power a week or so. Whole home generator for the win. Millions are without power. Texas is so backward they don’t even know the real number. It’s a serious health problem - Houston is expected 108ish real feel values.
  3. This is why Houston’s average temp is less than Austin or Dallas (and why Austin is generally higher than Dallas). The number on the thermostat is only part of the story
  4. Friday might not hit 90. If it does MDT could well be looking at 14+ straight 90+ days because the weekend and next week will be just as hot if not hotter than this week.
  5. Ah that didn’t show up on the metar site. 76 ties the record.
  6. 77 was my low. It appears to be MDT’s as well which will set a record for highest low temp on this date.
  7. There were several tornadoes in ET that destroyed homes (a friend’s mom was one ugh) that aren’t depicted either.
  8. That’s my parents’ NWS office. 67! TOR warnings issued today. Most ever issued by any station in the country.
  9. Parents have a 6.5” rain gauge. It overflowed an hour ago and it’s still raining over them in East Texas. Can’t reminder a storm hitting the gulf that caused so many problems in NE TX.
  10. 96 was my high. I pulled a weed out of the ground and the soil is sand.
  11. It is July 8. We have 2 months ahead of this with no pattern change in sight.
  12. Can’t get ahold of my fam. Hope the towers are just down. They’re and 9 diff tornado warning since 3. Two PDS ones. Edit: got texts. They’re ok. LOTS of tree and fence damage.
  13. Worried for my fam - a tornado on the ground N of Tatum TX and moving directly toward them
  14. MDT has a decent shot at breaking a few highest minimum temps this week. Per CTP, here are the records and each day is in danger of being broken. HARRISBURG DATE HIGHEST MIN T YEAR July 9 76 1994 July 10 77 1993 July 11 76 1989 July 12 75 1911, 2011 The duration of warm is also approaching records for MTD. It hasn't dropped below 70 since July 3, and won't until maybe at best late this week. Here are the longest stretches with temperatures at or above 70 on record at Harrisburg. # OF DAYS DATES YEAR 17 7/19-8/04 2020 13 8/16-8/28 2021 13 7/13-7/25 2010 12 7/18-7/29 2022 12 7/17-7/28 1999 12 7/20-7/31 1940 11 8/04-8/14 1977 10 8/10-8/19 2016 10 7/14-7/23 2013 10 7/21-7/30 1898
  15. Fam along the coast are safe. Lots of tree damage but houses made out ok (well minus no power of course). Now fam in the northern ET area is about to get the goods. Tons of tornado warnings on that N/NE quadrant still.
  16. Power outage numbers now surpass the height of Ike outages. Speaking of Ike, I have two different people who have texted this experience is scarier than Ike for them. Maybe because Ike was fully nocturnal and they're getting the brunt in daylight hours, but still.
  17. 2 million without power might as well be in death in July in Houston.
  18. Lots of damage reports will come out of Houston. It's the worst case track for them, but thankfully only a cat 1. If it were worse ... we'd have a major, major catastrophe on our hands I think.
