zenmsav6810 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Why does Lancaster always have that "bubbling and bust effect"? Topography? Worcester, PA. Not much here. Some strong gusty winds for a period of time. Only a couple of hundreds inch of rain. .07 for the day (some around 3 PM). Line looked impressive in Lancaster Cty and did the typical "fall apart" as it hits Montgomery Cty. On to the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rib Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I'm not sure how anyone else did but I was hit with 60mph+ winds. That was more intense than last Thursday. I left my video camera going on my cellphone but it didn't do the wind justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treckasec Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 The storm clouds moved in. It's a lot darker now, and the wind from earlier has stopped. I see the occasional yellow flash of light. Edit: Welp, as soon as I sent that message, we got insane winds. We got 2 very strong wind gusts so far, and a few smaller ones. It started to rain, and it just stopped. The second wind gust caused some branches to bang up against my wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBasile Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 43 MPH wind gust @ 8:55 PM. Knocked a tree down in my yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treckasec Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Well, it seems that the 50+ mph winds are over. Just some heavy rain with 30-40 mph wind gusts, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stemwinder Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Only got .15 in. with that rain squall. Surprised me nonetheless. Cooler now. From W Windsor nr. Princeton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Shouldn't make jokes about power outages iceman - no power here since the storm hit...lot of wind, a bit of rain, more comfortable outside at least. Sigh/lol..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophisticated Skeptic Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Another chance tomorrow afternoon as this is a two front deal before cooler arrives SPC holding back on the 'slight risks' since such an expansive area involved. ( i'm guessin ) MIDDLE ATLANTIC... MODEST SWLY CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT IS EXPECTED TO EXTEND ACROSS THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC INTO PORTIONS OF NRN NC WEDNESDAY. THIS FLOW REGIME SHOULD ENCOURAGE LEE TROUGH TO ORIENT ITSELF FROM THE CNTRL CAROLINAS INTO SERN VA WHERE LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE SHOULD BE MAXIMIZED FOR POTENTIAL STRONG CONVECTION. WHILE STRONGER DEEP-LAYER SHEAR IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN FARTHER NORTH...SUFFICIENT MID-LEVEL FLOW SHOULD ALLOW MULTI-CELL UPDRAFTS TO EVOLVE...ESPECIALLY ACROSS VA. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUGGEST GUSTY WINDS WILL BE THE GREATEST RISK WITH MORE ORGANIZED CONVECTION. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute Humidity Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Have had no power since the storm blew through; about 1/4 town is in the dark. Winds cranked hard for about 5 minutes, estimate 50-60mph. Despite the sheer lameness of all severe storms here this year, this one, rather rainless marks only the third event in 10 years where I've lost power for more than a few minutes.

Maxwell03 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Of course the one time Jersey gets whooped I am up in the NW burbs where we saw a few wind gusts and a couple minutes of rain showers. Didn't see any real damage where I was and power remained on unabated. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treckasec Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Now that the sun is shining, I looked outside to see what happened. There are some branches and a few leaves, nothing special. Nothing compared to a tornado that blew through back on July 31, 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night it was going to be 12:10 am, then 6 pm today, now it says 6 pm tomorrow the 10th. I'm hoping it's sooner, obviously. I was hoping that after February this year I'd have time to save up for a whole house system before the next extended outage ....apparently not, lol.

BucksCO_PA Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 According to family & friends a pretty intense storm in Levittown last evening, a number a large trees down particularly in Bristol Twp. Locally certainly an interesting gusty storm however not the magnitude of the last Thurs storm., winds gusted to 48mph at TTN last night. Already more significant storms locally this season than the past 5-6yrs. combined, nice change of pace, been a dead zone for storms around here for a number of yrs.

A lot of people around thought it was a tornado and went into their basements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power came back on about 2am so it wasn't too bad. I have a little 4000 watt genny which is perfect to run a window air cond I keep in bedroom for these events. Hope your power came back today.

We got ours back this afternoon after the latest status update had said 6 pm tomorrow, so the under promise/over deliver was good. That's what I have, a 4000 watt, good for the refrigerator and a few other things, actually used it to also run the boiler, circulator and ahu fan last February, but today I tried running a cad station off it along with the fridge and the breaker kept tripping out, which surprised me. It's been pretty handy this year regardless... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed that too, and as many seasons seem to have a recurring theme or pattern, one of those for this spring/summer in my mind has been "the return of the strong thunderstorm".

Rib Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I was caught outside when the line hit and had to hide behind where the mailboxes are for my apartment building. Since I had my cellphone on me I videotaped it but you hear me basically panicking because branches were flying past me. I went to take a walk to see the line approach and forgot it was moving at 60mph so it went from dark skies to the west to full on 60mph winds in seconds.

Rib Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 It really did feel like more than 60mph winds since I did experience 60mph+ gusts during Sandy and this seemed more intense. The strongest winds only affected the areas they hit for less than 5 minutes but they caused so much damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been pretty handy this year regardless... If your referring to an autocad station that is surprising. I have an all pro 4000 5500 peek genny. During Sandy I wired it into a 20amp breaker to the main and ran the whole house off it. Had to run washer and drier separately but it chugged along for 7 days straight.

Wow, I didn't know that storm had hail. 15 minutes prior to that report, I was driving through the heart of the storm in Orefield - it was definitely a bad storm but I saw no hail.

Maxwell03 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Anyone down the shore between Ocean City and AC? Southern zones have been getting dumped on by training storms today. Up to 6" of rain has been reported in parts of Cape May County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophisticated Skeptic Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Things firing up a bit it seems.... I've almost never seen such movement-less training with a cell. usually u see at-least slow movement.. ..could get nasty. but will probably fizzle out without heating.
