Northern weather

The bullies are steadily getting very full of themselves , and since they have little or no natural unselfcentered thoughtfulness toward others not of their ilk, the mayhem and confusion and violence will continue to grow.

Fascinating weather report............

Such is life on the www, my brother , so many different characters one may have to deal with. I appreciate your patience .

I was focused upon giving Roger a reply to his posting immediately ahead of mine.

Well, despite the evening thunderstorms and copious amounts of rain, the basement in PA is nearly dry and I will have to look into some sort of sealant to apply next time I am there.

The gardens are doing nicely in VA; the one in PA is about to get cleared of dead shrubbery and put back into just what passes for grass and mowed.

So far, a decent summer weather-wise - Hurricane at the very least, in the words of the gypsy queen............

Sounds like just a bunch of rain and a strong breeze here. Nobody's buying in...still toilet paper at the market.

[rogruth]

We had @ 6 minutes of rain today but no breeze. Just hot. I like hot.

Been raining here since ~ 8pm last night; main body of the storm is far more west than predicted earlier - looks like we could get 7-10" of rain before it's over. Tornado warnings in southern MD with tracks and zone headed toward Alexandria. Could be a real mess from what was just a Cat 1 hurricane....

[healey36]

Wow, I don't think we got more than 3-4". Not complaining, glad we got it.

Channel7/ABC News has told of several tornadoes having touched down in this general area, and NJ officials have warned folks to stay off the roads all across the state and well into eastern Pennsylvania , and to esp. stay away from Delaware WaterGap.

Tornado watch until 4pm.

The winds are expected to outlast the rainfall (Sam Champion).

Long Beach Island: winds at 112 mph presently.

Path of the storm will penetrate close to Scranton ,PA , and Syracuse, NY as it continues to move NE .

It's raining so hard here that it looks like a heavy low fog but is actually a whole lot of fast-falling rain. The trees in the entire neighborhood are shaking violently, tops to bottoms. I'm so glad I had three higher-than-the-house birches removed a few years ago.

I just now heard wind buffet this house like I
never heard previously .

All over here - sun is out and I was out running a few errands - some traffic signals out, power out at the library, bank and PO were fine......

Everything is just drying out now as the temp starts to go back up -- humidity should be back to unbearable shortly

[healey36]

Usually after a hurricane passes through, you get a back-draft of drier air...was hoping for a couple days of nice weather before the humidity goes back up.

Hopes and dreams...........and more mowing to do in a few days.

Nothing here except a little rain.

Roof blew off of the local hospital. Cars are tossed around their parking lot also. Across the street from there is a high school. Their bleachers blew over.. We had 2-3 inches of rain an hour. By 1:00 pm sunny and windy.

Perfect day here on the coast of Maine. Might get the 356 Porsche out. Had it out yesterday as the rain arrived. It is a convertible.
