E PA/NJ/DE/NE MD: Banter thread

Just returned from a week in Slate Run in north central PA. Didn't realize there was a tornado

outbreak in central PA with six F1's on 5/26/11. One of these went right through Slate Run with

it's path running about 75 yards from our cabin. The path was pretty amazing in how it avoided

any structures. It ran parallel to the houses situated along the creek, destroying about 90%

of the trees in the woods. Then it apparently lifted over the village itself and then proceeded

to climb the mountain on the opposite side of the valley to an elevation of about 2100'. No

shortage of firewood for years to come. Although it's been over a year ago, I only saw one

structure with minor damage and one cablin destroyed as several big pines fell on it.

I'd have to disagree with the NWS assessment about 400 trees destroyed. I'd have to say the

number was well into the thousands. Many areas of localized straight line damage also scattered

about the area. Here's the NWS report:

I like the Slate Run general store. My wife and I always stop there on our way to Cedar Run (my father in law's hunting camp is in Cedar Run, and her family always spends a week of vacation there in mid-September).

Anyway...was hoping for a bit more from the rain either Friday evening or last night/this morning. Both events were less than 0.05".

a whole trace of rain here :axe:

feels like beating a dead horse saying the extremes are always getting worse but 10" rain in May and 1" in June, and even stranger considering its been a troughy month

Localized. My parents had 6" of rain in May and almost 3" in June.

the euro is still advertising some serious heat just to our sw, with the dc area temps to be in 100-105 range while we are in the low to mid 90s. Looks like we are on the edge of the ring of fire.

euro has us on Saturday in the upper 90's. :devilsmiley:

i wonder if we get into any of the storms along the periphery of the heat. the gfs is a little more bullish than the euro.

i wonder the same thing as well. front might ultimately be a bit farther north than where the GFS has it progged but we might "luck" out w/ some thunder one or two days.
