Hurricane Agnes Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 So far I have 3.09" of rain since ~1:00 pm (max rain rate hit 3.19"/hr so far). Temp is sitting at 69 now but I see the new batch coming this way. The cells are slow-moving and dumping like crazy apparently. Heard Hurricane Schwartz on and off on KYW the past hour and he was talking about all the back-building of the thunderstorms. The latest cluster might sideswipe me to the south if it continues the current storm motion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark clouds and some rumbles of thunder off to the north. Nothing here earlier, but the cool breezes from Philly were nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief83 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Worcester - Pa .50 of rain as of 4:30 PM. Most of the action so far has been to east - towards Cheltenham. Multiple water rescues in that area. Heavy shower here now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that blob is expanding and contracting and expanding (back-building) and it looks like it is sagging towards Delco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that my sis in the next door Springfield Twp (in Wyndmoor) just had her power go out on her street in the past hour. Transformer was sparking and then blew.

Your elevation is pretty high (400 feet) so I assume/hopefully your safe from the flash flood emergency? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but then if I go to the stores in Erdenheim or Flourtown during heavy rains like this, there's a big hill I would go down along Bethlehem Pike, and I know it probably floods there at Bethlehem Pk and Montgomery at the bottom of the hill. That is why I am always impressed with Springfield Township because they have equipment to keep their storm drains cleared!!! They also have a catch pond near there too and it's all part of the Wissahickon Watershed that they have been continually working on improving too.

BBasile Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Good storms. Not much in the way of wind or hail, but the lightning is great. Seems like as soon as something appears on radar, it's already producing CG strikes. Just shy of 1 inch of rain today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
