yeah, i had to stop and think about it, been so long.

i can't recall the last time my windows were open

Finally able to get back to posting. I left work at 245 to go home to staff the FD. So yes, we had trees down all over, as well as the normal issues with storms. The wind picked up pretty good around 3 pm. I was awake most of the night, the wind varied in intensity until about 230am when it finally calmed down. I'm not sure what the gust mph was, but around 4 pm, for 20-30 minutes it was crazy. the rain actually looked like it was spinning. It ripped the halyards off our huge flag. we had to go out to pick up our flags. That's about when our call volume increased too. My asst. chief is on PATF-1. he had been deployed south but they were released and were driving north yesterday through that rain. I'm not exactly sure where they ended up, but were rerouted to philly/NJ/Ny area. It never stopped raining at home until about 10pm. Though from 8-10 it was not heavy. as of 6pm we had just over 6". i'm waiting for my neighbor to get me his final tally. gotta be close to 7"

Cameron and Herr in the city is flooded. Authorities closing Cameron Street.

he said if it already isn't cleared, it will be shortly

stand by, checking with resources

many around us are reporting 3.5. co-worker just told me. i guess he can see his and others who upload their info

he said 283 is NOT closed.

not sure its fact, but i was just told that 283 picture is not current, it was from a couple years ago. trying to confirm through my resources at PEMA

2' above capacity a friend just told me

currently 85 roads in the state that are closed

i think i read its around E-town exit

I cant post the pictures, but i saw where they had to rescue students off of busses this morning out in western pa

wow, really?

the water going down our parking lot, looks like white water rapids

flat out dumping here in Harrisburg

maybe that will help keep our totals down.

@Itstrainingtimethis is what you were talking about.

it is as black as night in Harrisburg

wow

i guess its show time fellas. Rain, Moderate to heavy at times, 67 degrees

I called it earlier my district already issued an early dismissal for tomorrow!

I always worry about the wind, maybe not as much as my compadre across the mighty susky, but some of these smaller storms we have had this year and the trees they toppled over, bothers the shit out of me

How close are you to the Yellow Breeches?

Maybe we should take bets on schools delaying or canceling
