@CoolHandMike How's the flooding in Berks?

Getting reports of flooding on 222 at the 61 off ramp just north of me as well as some flooding near Birdsboro. I think the usual spots near Penn St. in downtown are flooded as well. The low spot in my back yard has a couple of inches of standing water, but my basement is still bone-dry for now.

Nasty cell approaching central Montco

Had some heavy rain come through, added a little over an inch, up to 2.13" now. Some lightning, mainly ctc. Interestingly it's gotten pretty windy here on the tail end of it, lots of wet leaves flying around.

[Hurricane Agnes]

Under a TOR with Emergency Alert.  Phones going nuts.  I heard a big thump before it (thunder?)

Huh, just got an EAS alert for a tornado warning here. I was reading the tornado warnings for down in Delaware when it went off, lol.

New tornado warning (Pink/purple border) in Philly..

[The Iceman]

Steady rain for the last hour. About .5" in addition to the .5" this morning brings us up to an inch. We ll see if that heavy stuff works it's way east or just trains to the west.

[KamuSnow]

Snap, just lost power here, delayed reaction style.

Swale at the south end property is overflowing, didn't get that high with last summers cane remnants it's looking pretty crazy 

 

[Birds~69]

Heaviest rain, loudest thunder and most lightning right now, super burst of thunder just now. Scared the bejesus outta me...

Hope they get you back quickly.  I know the last heavy rain here mine went out, but PECO got to it within a couple hours.

Boooo!  I hope mine stays on.   Daughter up in Schwenksville getting slammed now.  Looks like there's a bit more coming up out of MD in a bit?

[Birds~69]

Swirling action going on here..

Big couplet on that Tor warned cell. That could be producing.

New TOR over me and am seeing what looks like something that could be at Plymouth Meeting (about 5 miles from me).

New tornado warning in Mont county...Horsham Hatboro etc. (Purple/Pink borders)

That's going to be a strong tornado in the northern burbs.

Kate Bilo said she doesn’t remember a destructive tornado warning being issued in this region before - and now two just this summer.

From my eyes it looks to be heading up 611N though Mont into Bucks county...
