No yeah your right. If it was that high my basement would have 4 ft of water in it. But it was close to going in which would of been bad since i have a lot of instruments and equipment.

Did yesterday's 4.42 inches at the airport break the daily record for any April date?

spoke with my brother, reporting life and death situations near the perkiomin creek and skippack creek  on rt 73 in motco.

He was water rescuing people near the skippack creek.

his car washed away. 15 ft water on the roadway , people crying

Yeah, the Perkiomen creek was REAL bad yesterday evening and overnight...thankfully, it has calmed down this morning and roads are re-opening.  It took my wife almost 2 hours to make a 15 to 20 minutes drive yesterday due to so many roads closed from the flooding.
