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"
