I didn't see much wind damage out there, or in the Danville/Berwick area in my travels today.

So I ended up with 0.88" for last night's event. This after an inch and a half on Friday. Whatever we get today will fall on saturated ground so flash flooding I guess will be a concern later today and tonight.

That's part of my route tomorrow morning as well. If I see any damage, I'll let you know.

We got the goods...sort of. I believe the line weakened some at it got here as there was a continuous lightning/thunder event to my west, but as it neared, the lightning became more infrequent. We never (to this point anyway) got the instantaneous flash/boom that I so desperately crave. Wind toped out at 12.5 mph, and so far, with the heaviest rain east of me already, got 0.67" as of this post. On to the next one some other day I suppose... ***edited to add that the radar looked really good as it passed through, but it didn't seem to correlate with ground truth***

Current movement and future radar loops don't look super promising for me. It appears that anything that holds together scoots by to my north and northwest. Hazleton might get it pretty good though. If that's the case, I'll once again be on the outside looking in...

I'll be going through there tomorrow morning. We'll see whats what then I guess. It's a nice little town, so I hope no damage.

That's one sweet ride! I had always wanted a Buick Grand National. I always thought they were much cooler than a Monte Carlo SS. I got nothing this morning...

Sounds good to me!!!

We had a decent rainer come through town right when we were leaving for dinner. Got 1.46" out of it in about 45 minutes, and had to wait it out in the Jeep.

They might be all summer. Saturday we're busy with our oldest grandson, though. He made the Schuylkill County baseball all star team and has two games. One at 8am and one at 1pm.

They might be running steam all summer. And I love the steam engine and would certainly ride the train. Saturday we're busy with our oldest grandson, though. He made the Schuylkill County baseball all star team and has two games. One at 8am and one at 1pm.

Next time you head to Jim Thorpe and it's a weekend, let me know. I only live about 20 minutes from there. We could meet up and have lunch somewhere.

But it is dark to my southwest and it did start to rain here.

Hey now. No one in this forum lives in Pottsville...

Everything tonight is missing me to the northwest.

I go through Pillow three times on Thursday and Friday and once on Monday. Every week. I take spring water to Weis from Tower City.

No but I know a good one from the surgery I had last year...lol

89 here as well today.

Good question...

That's amazing...

It went up? It's chilly (by my standards anyway) now here. We're down to 65 now. How's the fireworks out your way? It's like the bombing of Baghdad over here in Tamaqua.

Only 81 here today.

I'll bet it does. Thankfully, it's rare to get large hail here. We did have golf to tennis ball sized hail back in 2011, though. Here's a pic from my backyard...

Finally had a decent storm. Heaviest just missed Tamaqua, but still, according to the wife, the best one all year. I drove through the worst of it and had some hail pinging the Jeep. Not exactly the sound you want to hear when you just bought it a week ago. It sure was a blinding rain with muddy road flooding, though. Got 0.51" in short order in my gauge.

Hope that makes it to Tamaqua, but the realty is that it probably won't. Something will chew it apart before it gets here.
