Voyager Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 What are the chances that wraparound in Central PA comes through NEPA? Looking at the radar loop, it appears to be a good possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hudsonvalley21 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 5.70 in Martins Creek Any news how 209 is in the park and up to Dingmans Ferry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boch23 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Ended up with 7 inches of rain here in Lansdowne. Went down to Darby Creek this morning only to find my camera ran out of batteries 5 mins after I turned it on. Eventually found some batteries went back later but the waters had receded. The water did not get to Floyd levels but it did go higher then last septembers rain event. I believe Baltimore Pike was closed for a bid as it opened back up around 530-6AM according to DELCOM. I did get some pictures to show how high the water did come as well as a couple photos of branches on power lines that I will post later today. Nothing to exciting but I'm actually glad about that. All in all my favorite part of the storm was watching transformer after transformer blow for a good 15 mins during pretty much the peak of the storm.

al79philly Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 No way we could get 2 hurricanes in one season. That's about as likely as having the hottest month ever, the rainiest month ever, a hurricane, and an earthquake in two months.... Oh wait as someone else mentioned. the 0z euro has another tropical threat sitting north of dom rep on the same longitude as tampa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bliz299 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Walloping wind gusts Batman! Had a backside gust of 71mph at 12:43pm. However, I see the Cape May Ferry station had 75mph and Brandywine Shoal 77mph! "Calmer" now; just 20-40mph. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FUCK JOE BIDEN Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 at the golf course I'd say the flooding was slightly less than 3/14/10 at home we lost power for 2hrs, at the end of the street a tree took out he power lines and destroyed an SUV. The arcs from the lines lit up my house and it was 2 blocks away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famartin Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Parents had another 0.10 since 8AM... 5.40" total. It seems as though Ewing was a precip hole, with less than 6" at my parents, the airport, and Washingtons Crossing up in Hopewell, while everyone north and east in Mercer County got 7+ (per CoCoRaHS).

Scottium Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 In Parkesburg PA we are in our 15th hr of no power. We were lucky that the generator kept the 2 pumps running throughout the night. I took a drive around town this morning. There are a few smaller trees and lots of medium branches down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman56 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Storm total 6.57" here in NW Chesco. Storm definitely underperformed in the wind department -- max gust 36 mph. One tree down, lots of small branches. One footbridge across stream rotated 90 degrees, other bridge with cable on come-along to a tree held fine. Nonetheless, still no power since 3:30 this morning -- generator running. Pumped 2 feet of water out of church basement this morning. No power - no sumps.
