Riptide Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Riptide is talking about "mixing tornadoes down to the surface" in our forum. Please take him back. Thanks. He said he is "certainly not going to post in the Philly forum" I'll do it on your behalf, because I care about you. Why are you filling up this sub-forum with irrelevant posts?

Lady Di Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 First showers arriving in SE PA. This was the family's vacation week in the outer banks. We left there Thurs am to get ahead of the traffic. Ran into your thunderstorm around Smyrna DE. Drove through smoke from the VA swamp fire. Daughter felt the earthquake on the beach on Corolla. Bring it Irene. We're no weenies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSchwake28 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I expect tons of pics and videos for those of us out of town...especially those of you in delco I moved out to north dakota 5 weeks ago and have already missed 2 hailstorms in my hometown, an earthquake, and now possibly the first hurricane to strike jersey in over 100 years! Hope you all enjoy such a rare event but be safe. :raining: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we here in Delco are awaiting the problems, I expect the Chester Creek to bad at a record flood stage and take out some of the roads and bridges it follows along.

Yea I definitely see that happening. I'm thinking back to when Floyd came through in '99 and I imagine rainfall amounts will be very similar, at least in my neck of the woods.. but with record precip already this month I can't imagine how bad it may get come sunday morning.

famartin Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Convective fireup near the center- looking much better compared to earlier this morning. Might even be trending a bit west of forecasted track? I mentioned this in the NYC thread, but this isn't unusual for a storm making landfall. The sudden increase in convergence due to the increased friction over land often causes a burst of convection near the center as it moves ashore.

We are registered for Riddle and about 10 minutes away (down on the border of Brookhaven and Media). She's sleeping next to me now and is quite frankly 'scared'. I'm trying to stay 'calm', but 12 large, 60 year old Tulip trees on my property don't ease my own nerves... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i dont blame you on the nerves thing, the most important situation at hand for you is to keep her calm and rested and relaxed. I know your worries with the tree's. Hopefully no damage to them or anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse! I hope its going well out in the plains! I decided last week that I was going to chase this from Atlantic City, but then they evacuated so I'm home in Philly for it. It sucks you can't experience it. (JShcwake28 and I were freshmen roommates in PSU, he introduced me to eastern back in the day ). I am fully expecting there to be extreme flooding and wind gusts to 60mph in the immediate PHL metro area. I even have my handheld anemometer with me! Let's see what she can do...

ptb127 Posted August 27, 2011 Author Share Posted August 27, 2011 gfs track just like nam, brings the center between phl and toms river If the track is the same, how does the NAM give 7-8" of ran while the GFS gives 4-5" of rain? (BTW, I think we can all say the euro is going to win on this storm..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phlwx Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 We're just about to get rain. We're lucky our office got its charity dog wash in without any rain. We decided to go ahead with it and still had a decent turnout despite the crappy looking sky. Onto weather! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famartin Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Or the warm sounds and swamps it is tracking over, much warmer then the ocean. Not really. There's still a continuing increase in land effects. That is continuing to encourage a weakening trend. I know people have quoted Danny but that wasn't even a TS before it got to the area. Big difference between that and a big hurricane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbourton Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 To put it some perspective, the 12Z GFS is showing most of NJ with 7" of rain and the NAM 7"-10". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
