    Bright overcast (no sun) all day here in both Allentown and Tamaqua. The humidity is awful though.
  2. Voyager
    Has the Jordan Creek ever come close to flooding route 100 by Hoffman's garage or the KOA turnoff?

    I guess I should apologize for my rant last night. A lot of you had damage and I'm sure some are still without power this morning. That sucks. I guess I just love good, solid storms, and for some reason Tamaqua is protected from getting them, so it's frustrating to miss out on so many highly anticipated storm outbreaks.

    And it was another nothingburger here. Rain has already tapered off, wind and lightning nearly non-existent. Same as it ever was...

    I'll be very surprised if we don't end up with just a garden variety shower till all is said and done. The air already cooled to 80 from everyone else's storms. I think we end up getting robbed today.

    Massive Tamaqua Split at the moment. Storms up in Scranton and Williamsport and down Harrisburg way. My only hope is what's out by State College and Altoona getting here intact, but as it appears it would be after 9pm, I doubt it.

    Only 94 here today. It's looking, at the moment anyway, that any storms my way are going to come after 8pm. I wonder how much energy they'll lose after sunset...

    So I see a watch is up for Western PA. I thought it was Eastern PA that was under the gun for storms again tonight. Did I miss something?
  9. Voyager
    The last two days we hit 90 before 10am. Today at 1pm were only at 89. I wonder how much last night's storm is playing into the slightly cooler temp today.

    Storms blew up east of I-81 yesterday late afternoon/evening and caused quite a bit of damage in various locations as I posted about last night. 31,000 people are still without power this morning.

    Facebook post with lots of damage photos. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Bu5gWgPKs/

    The house/building in New Ringgold.
  13. Voyager
    Just found out New Ringgold, southwest of Tamaqua got hit hard as well. Saw a photo as well as verified reports of a building collapse. Pic looked like it was a house.

    And it did just that. Lehighton got walloped. Trees and wires down everywhere. Here, hardly anything.

    Things are starting to get interesting with regard to storms. Looks like some good cells are popping from Williamsport to Bloomsburg moving southeast.

    When I lived in Arizona, 115+ was somewhat common in Phoenix, but the hottest temperature I've ever experienced was 128 in Bullhead City. That was just crazy hot, and pretty much too hot for even this summer loving warmanista. The heat radiating up from the asphalt parking lots almost literally burned my legs.

    It's why I have the guy on ignore. Him posting his climate stats and obs here, would be the equivalent of me doing it in the Mid Atlantic forum. Now I do post from time to time in the Philly thread, but I'm five miles from Carbon and 8 miles from Lehigh, so sometimes I cross over. Plus...I was born and raised in Bethlehem, so I feel a kindred spirit with those guys down there.
  18. Voyager
    Exactly. That's why I went. Of course it wasn't as bad at 11am in Tamaqua as it was in the afternoon farther south toward Reading and beyond.
  19. Voyager
    I was lucky the train came through Tamaqua around 11am, before peak heating, but it was still plenty hot. There were a handful of heat emergencies here, though, too.
  20. Voyager
    Yup. The 4012 is up there on static display. For a bit, they parked the operating Big Boy next to the static one.

    It's looking like 98 is going to be my high for today.
  23. Voyager
    As Canderson said, I have the Tempest station. I like it a lot, but with the hepatic rain gauge, you're not going to get accurate winter precipitation readings, as the snowflakes aren't heavy enough to trip the sensors. You'll need a separate gauge to melt and record snow.
  24. Voyager
    Still an hour from train time, and Tamaqua is full of people trackside already...
  25. Voyager
    If I can get some good stuff, I will!
