JTA66 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 JTA66 from Lansdale was in the middle of that storm. We'll have to get his opinion for sure. My unprofessional opinion is we experienced straight-line winds. The tree falls all seemed to be in the same direction. Still, it was a very isolated corridor. And fortunately (for me) it was about a 1/2 mile to my east. My neighborhood escaped with down branches only (I'm over by North Penn HS). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dryslotted Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Those photos from Lansdale (atleast the 1st one) is awesome............definetely not a tornado though. You're thinking it's just a funnel cloud or not even that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaoPos Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 You're thinking it's just a funnel cloud or not even that? That 1st 1 seemed like a roll cloud, and the camera angle made it look vertical. However, it's more orientated front to back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree - straight line winds. We lost 5 trees at the golf course and you could draw on a map the wind direction even though they were scattered around the course location wise.

dryslotted Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Watched the line in NW Burlco form from my North facing backyard. Heard some nice deep rumbles, but all the action was a few miles North of here...Not much of an outbreak so far looking at the radar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard some nice deep rumbles, but all the action was a few miles North of here...Not much of an outbreak so far looking at the radar... Who called for an outbreak? Today was always marginal based on the ongoing cloud cover and such. Anyhow, SPC adds the southern half of Jersey, and E PA in the slight risk in the new outlook. ...NC NWD INTO SERN PA/NJ... ALTHOUGH STORM SCALE MODELS HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT IN DEVELOPING CONVECTION IN NC...LATEST SATELLITE PICTURES SHOW STRONG SUBSIDENCE...EVEN CU HAVE BEEN SLOW TO DEVELOP. HOWEVER...STORMS HAVE DEVELOPED OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF WV/VA AND SERN PA/NJ. SUFFICIENT SHEAR...HEATING AND INSTABILITY FOR STORMS TO PRODUCE A FEW DAMAGING WIND EVENTS.

SmokeEater Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Another swing and miss for northern DE today. Feels like we're the Ryan Howard of rain this summer. Do you actually look at radar before you make statements like this? Granted it may miss your backyard, but to say swing and miss for N DE is just wrong. Actually, looks like the northern edge of the precip will get to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluehens Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Northern DE is north of I-95 to me..or at least north of the canal. That thing will fizzle out before it gets here and even if it does its maybe 0.05" or so. The fact of the matter is the heavy stuff all weekend has eluded us. A little sprizt that barely wets the driveway and is dry in 15 minutes hardly qualifies as rain. Do you actually look at radar before you make statements like this?

As yesterday and today got closer, all the models trended to a N and W heavy rain event, which came to pass. On a day where everything is extremely isolated, and a 40-50% chance tops, you shouldn't be whining about not seeing rain. Granted it's not all that much, but you're getting more right now, then most on the subforum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reminds me of the North Jersey/Central Jersey/South Jersey arguments... but in reality, all of New Castle should be considered northern Delaware. Kent is central, Sussex is southern. Of course, some North Jersey folks think the only part of Jersey that is part of northern Jersey is Bergen County Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
