Valley lawns are starting to look a little scorched.  The dust clouds coming off the farm tractors in Hadley and Sunderland could be seen from miles.

HRRR plays the role of FDR and saves the valley with 2-7" of rain the next 36 hours lol

4 deaths from that derecho yeaterday in NJ.

PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
409 PM EDT THU JUN 4 2020

...ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON JUNE 3, 2020 DERECHO...

A DERECHO, DEFINED AS A LONG-LIVED AND EXPANSIVE THUNDERSTORM WIND 
COMPLEX THAT PRODUCES WIDESPREAD SWATHS OF DAMAGING AND OFTEN 
SIGNIFICANT WIND GUSTS OVER A PATH GREATER THAN 240 MILES IN LENGTH, 
DEVELOPED JUST SOUTHEAST OF LAKE ERIE DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS 
OF JUNE 3, 2020.  DAMAGING WINDS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH WERE SPORADIC 
IN WESTERN AND CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA, BUT AS THE THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX 
MOVED INTO INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE AIR IN THE EASTERN PART OF THE 
STATE JUST BEFORE NOON, WIND DAMAGE REPORTS BECAME MORE NUMEROUS AND 
WIDESPREAD. BY THE TIME THE DERECHO MOVED OFF THE COAST AROUND 130 
PM, OVER 250 WIND DAMAGE REPORTS WERE RECEIVED BY THIS OFFICE FROM 
EMERGENCY MANAGERS, TRAINED SKYWARN SPOTTERS, AND THE GENERAL 
PUBLIC.  MOST OF THESE REPORTS WERE LOCATED WITHIN A 50-MILE WIDE 
SWATH EXTENDING FROM BERKS COUNTY EASTWARD TO THE PHILADELPHIA METRO 
AREA, THEN FURTHER EAST TO THE OCEAN COUNTY SHORELINE IN NEW JERSEY. 
WIND GUST REPORTS BETWEEN 60 AND 70 MPH WERE COMMON, WITH SOME OF 
THE HIGHEST GUSTS AS FOLLOWS: 93 MPH AT BEACH HAVEN, NJ (OCEAN 
COUNTY), 92 MPH AT SURF CITY, NJ (OCEAN COUNTY), 83 MPH AT READING 
REGIONAL AIRPORT, PA (BERKS COUNTY), 76 MPH IN POTTSTOWN, PA 
(MONTGOMERY COUNTY), AND 76 MPH IN BRIELLE, NJ (MONMOUTH COUNTY). IN 
ADDITION TO DESTRUCTIVE WIND GUSTS, FREQUENT TO CONTINUOUS LIGHTNING 
AND HEAVY DOWNPOURS WERE ALSO EXPERIENCED THROUGHOUT THE AREA. 

TRAGICALLY, FOUR DEATHS WERE REPORTED IN THE NWS MOUNT HOLLY AREA OF 
RESPONSIBILITY FROM THIS DERECHO.  THREE FATALITIES IN MONTGOMERY 
COUNTY WERE DUE DIRECTLY TO FALLING TREES, WITH THE FOURTH FATALITY 
IN DELAWARE COUNTY DUE TO A HOUSE FIRE CAUSED BY AN ELECTRICAL 
MALFUNCTION FROM A FALLEN TREE.  THIS IS THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF 
FATALITIES FROM A DERECHO EVENT IN THE AREA SINCE 1950.  

BECAUSE THIS DERECHO MOVED OFF THE COAST BY 200 PM, THE WARM 
AFTERNOON SUN WAS ABLE TO SUFFICIENTLY DESTABILIZE THE ATMOSPHERE 
FOR THE FORMATION OF ANOTHER ROUND OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER 
SOME OF THE SAME AREAS WHICH EXPERIENCED THEM EARLIER IN THE DAY. 
REPORTED WIND GUSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THESE THUNDERSTORMS GENERALLY 
RANGED BETWEEN 45 AND 65 MPH, WITH A 68 MPH WIND GUST MEASURED AT 
THE PHILADELPHIA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. THE REMAINING 
THUNDERSTORMS THEN MOVED OFFSHORE BY 1000 PM, WHICH BROUGHT AN END
TO THE DAY’S SEVERE WEATHER.

This has to be one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen.  

Holy crap.

 

Almost as crazy as a white guy in Norway who is rampantly tweeting about how little actual racism there is in the US.  I'm glad Jan Fredrik Drablos is there to educate us (yeah that is sarcasm).  Cool video though.

My garden looks fantastic.  We have a hose. You should get one lol. 

Oh don’t worry, I’m taking care of all the right plants.

this is the first year I’ve actually done some container gardening.  Tomatoes love the big pots. I mulched all of my greens and peppers in the ground and I’m turning an old 50 foot garden hose into a soaker hose.

Who ever lived in that house has probably joked that 2020 couldn’t get any worse. 

Houses - report said 8 were destroyed, though only the one fellow had to run for his life.  Wonder if that slide was due to similar conditions to the one in Smuggs - melting snow and quick warmth turning loose the hillside.  I'd read that Norway had AN snowfall this winter, saw a pic of equipment opening a road thru the high country that looked like the oft-posted one from the Japanese Alps, though the sides of the "canyon" looked more like excavator work than auger.
