Hurricane Agnes Posted March 23 Author Share Posted March 23 9 hours ago, Birds~69 said: Lived 5 houses down on 2nd Ave where that fire happened yesterday in Royersford. Probably could have been contained to 1 or 2 homes but winds cranking made it a 6 home destruction... When I heard about this on the news, I was thinking of folks in this forum and whether any were near that. Just sad. Past couple mornings here have had lows at or below hard freeze temps. I.e., high/lows for Thurs. & Fri. were 42/28 & 46/27. The dry air with dps down in the teens earlier in the week seemed to help the radiational cooling. There have been a lot of saucer magnolias around here that have been in full bloom although now just past peak, so some of those got hit with petal damage along with some of the early cherries (also past peak). The daffodils that have been blooming in the area didn't get phased by it, as they are pretty tough. Currently have light - moderate rain (0.40" in the bucket at post time), with a low of 39 that happened about 1:30 this morning. Temp has crept up to 42 with dp 42. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
