56F low wish i could have that all summer.

2014 was much like this and even less 90F days for the big cities. 2009 was significantly cooler but had too many rainy days.

 

 

2009 sucked balls for me. It was almost like we didn't even have a summer...

Have noticed the heavier rains running along upper Montco and Upper Bucks where you are, and then south through central Delaware and S. Jersey.

Having a short break that is about to end more firehose entering the County. Wouldn't you know it I laboriously applied fungicide over the weekend I could do without gully washers.

The twitter link that Eskimo Joe posted in this thread

https://www.americanwx.com/bb/topic/50159-august-obsdisco/?page=7

showed a distinct tornado. (video)  but then that link went dead for some reason.   Several there saw it as well though.  

looked like an EF0 to EF1 max. 

 

His link does not work. It has not officially been confirmed. The NWS needs to survey the damage to confirm a tornado and more importantly assign a wind speed and an EF rating.

*officially* speaking...understood. 

but the eyes know what one looks like.  Cars usually don't overturn on their own.

There were some pics of an overturned car after a straight-line wind event in Deptford, NJ back in June 2015.

Mt. Holly ruled out a tornado in that case - http://nj1015.com/did-a-tornado-touchdown-in-south-jersey/

I know they have to look at the damage pattern to confirm either way.

Let the NWS do their work before posting it has been confirmed, since it has not actually  been confirmed yet.
