We had about 4 inches at home, I didn't go to the day job so no clue how it was in Wrightstown

I guess that piece of siding will come tearing off now on the side of my house, sigh:

I'm sure all of the normal traffic jam spots will be just "ducky" tomorrow...

[angelwing]

Already heard on the traffice report that the ramp to get on the PA turnpike at Street rd is flooded out, it wasn't too bad yet but it's not even 7AM and the hard rain isn't here yet. I am more worried about the wind, I hope my siding stays put.

[Stephanie]

Yep, the drive into the city was slow today due to the rain. A HEAVY thunderstorm blew in at around 1:00 pm with the rain blowing sideways. THEN the wind came. Thank heavens it's calmed down some now.

Best weather ever Stephanie.... Send it down here. We saw boring rain today.

[Stephanie]

VERY interesting weather indeed for a weather nerd Metallic!

We may be getting more thunderstorms tomorrow as well. It seems like spring is trying break through.

[angelwing]

Heard a huge crashing noise at 2:09AM then saw a great big flash of red, then another huge BOOM! Then it started teeming! Was over in about 15 minutes, wow it was nasty! This was in Lansdale, now I see this:
