  1. I'm still amazed it did that to a healthy tree Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk
  2. Powe has till 10 am tomorrow to come in at my restaurant or else we are filing a $50k insurance claim and I have a week from hell on the backend Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk
  3. They sent that out here as well it was basically a mass text everywhere. Got to think they're probably running on skeleton crews and they just had one of the single worst blowdowns and a decade Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk
  4. The only thing tree wise this compares to around here is Isabel and Sandy. The one guy a couple streets over with it Davis weather station that's placed pretty well recorded almost a 75 mile per hour wind gust before the power went out Sent from my SM-X210 using Tapatalk
  5. 60,000 no power. I'm sure they have skeleton Crews also. I better start looking for a hotel tomorrow Sent from my SM-X210 using Tapatalk
  6. 12 big trees down in four blocks some of them like this healthy giant ones snap 6-10 feet with soil dry as hell that's legit wind. Some other dude with weather station on my street managed to get 74.8 miles an hour before a power went out Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk
  7. My estimated time for power. Tuesday late night Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk
  8. That very well might have been the worst storm I've ever been through. It's like it cycled and blew up right over us Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk
  9. All I hear a car alarms going off everywhere Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk
  10. My power is out. Trees are down. This one is real bad Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk
  11. Just saw transformer blow down the street. Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk
  12. Nice big guest front Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk
  13. These storms are half choking themselves. Can't get updraft seperation Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk
  14. We have a real shot at this one. I can see someone matching there 2 months combines rainfall in an hour or two Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk
  15. Atlantic City tied there all time record today. 106 Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk
  16. These storms have explosive growth. 50k+ tops are not exactly common here Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk
  17. I think that's heat index Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk
  18. 2011, 1999, 1966 I believe those might be the only three possible ones Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk
  19. Where did you see 104 Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk
  20. I think we have the record in hand for hotest 4 day stretch in history going by daily mean. 1966 still tops our high temperature at a 102.55 4 day mean. Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk
  21. I know it would mostly go to runoff but a 3" rainfall would be just I need psychologically Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk
  22. It's 88 with dewpoint of 71 Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk
  23. Do we get some late night storms??? Seems like the night where there's plenty of energy for storms to feed Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk
  24. Everything I did for chester I've done for Schyukhill also, except at 800m grid . Over 3600 grid cells. By weekend end I should have a fun little expose on the wild and wacky climate up there Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk
  25. Hey, I pulled together the estimated PRISM grid coverage and climate data package for Chester County. PRISM is a gridded climate dataset from Oregon State University’s PRISM Climate Group. Instead of only using individual weather stations, PRISM takes station observations, terrain, elevation, coastal effects, and other geographic factors into account to estimate climate variables across a continuous grid. It is commonly used for precipitation, temperature, dew point, vapor pressure deficit, solar/climate analysis, drought work, agricultural analysis, hydrology, and local climate comparisons. For Chester County, I estimated the county intersects about 151 PRISM-style 4 km grid cells. Each 4 km grid cell is: 4,000 meters wide by 4,000 meters tall About 2.49 miles wide by 2.49 miles tall 16 square kilometers About 6.18 square miles The coordinate file I made gives the estimated centerpoint of each 4 km cell covering at least part of Chester County. The file is latitude, longitude format with no header row, so it should be easy to paste into mapping tools, GIS software, or scripts. The ZIP file size is about 58 MB. Unzipped, the data is about 208 MB. What is included in the data package: Daily PRISM files from 1981 through July 1, 2026 Monthly PRISM files from 1895 through May 2026 1991–2020 monthly normals 1991–2020 daily normals The daily files are the day-by-day weather/climate estimates for each Chester County grid cell. These are useful for looking at specific storms, heat waves, cold snaps, wet/dry stretches, day-to-day variability, growing season conditions, and longer-term local trends. The monthly files go much farther back, starting in 1895 and running through May 2026. These are better for long-term climate history because they cover more than 130 years. They are useful for comparing recent months to the historical record, ranking wet/dry months, looking at long-term warming trends, and comparing different decades. The 1991–2020 monthly normals are the modern 30-year baseline averages. These tell you what is “normal” for each month at each grid cell, using the current standard climate-normal period. The 1991–2020 daily normals are the day-of-year baseline values. These are useful when you want to compare a specific date, like July 1 or October 15, against what is normally expected for that time of year. The main variables included or represented are: ppt: precipitation tmin: minimum temperature tmean: mean temperature tmax: maximum temperature tdmean: mean dew point temperature vpdmin: minimum vapor pressure deficit vpdmax: maximum vapor pressure deficit Depending on the specific PRISM product set, solar-related variables may also be available: solclear: clear-sky solar radiation soltotal: total solar radiation on a horizontal surface solslope: solar radiation adjusted for slope/aspect soltrans: cloud transmittance The temperature variables are useful for heat, cold, frost, growing season, and general climate work. The precipitation variable is useful for rainfall/snow-water equivalent, storm totals, drought, wet spells, and long-term precipitation trends. Dew point is useful because it describes actual atmospheric moisture better than relative humidity alone. It helps show humid-air events, muggy periods, and moisture transport. Vapor pressure deficit, or VPD, is useful for plant stress, evaporation demand, drought stress, and agricultural or ecological analysis. Higher VPD generally means the atmosphere is pulling moisture more aggressively from plants and surfaces. There is also a finer 800 meter PRISM grid option. The relationship is simple: one 4 km cell can be divided into 25 smaller 800 m cells, because 4,000 meters divided by 800 meters is 5 cells across, and 5 by 5 equals 25. So one 4 km cell equals: 5 smaller 800 m cells across 5 smaller 800 m cells tall 25 total 800 m cells inside one 4 km cell Each 800 m grid cell is: 800 meters wide by 800 meters tall About 0.50 miles wide by 0.50 miles tall 0.64 square kilometers About 0.247 square miles For Chester County, the rough 800 m estimate is around 3,300 cells if counting cells that touch the county boundary. If you simply subdivided all 151 estimated 4 km cells into 25 smaller cells each, that would be 3,775 possible 800 m subcells, but the more realistic county-clipped estimate is closer to 3,300 because the county boundary cuts through edge cells. The 800 m version would give much more local detail, especially in areas where terrain, elevation, urbanization, valleys, or county-edge effects matter. It would also be much larger. Since 800 m resolution has 25 times as many grid cells as 4 km resolution, the same date range and variables could be up to roughly 25 times larger. As a rough estimate, if the 4 km package is 58 MB zipped and 208 MB unzipped, the equivalent 800 m package could be somewhere around: 1.45 GB zipped 5.2 GB unzipped That is only a rough scaling estimate, because compression varies by variable and file structure, but it gives the right ballpark. I started with the 4 km version because it is much smaller, easier to transfer, and still gives a good countywide climate picture. If you want the higher-detail 800 m version, I can pull/build that too.
