My old county In MD had some flooding on the evac and rescue levels, but it’s all receding and not so bad now. We lived on a high knob out there, but had bridges on 2/3 most common escape routes that usually would go underwater... and just because the third road didn’t have a bridge didn’t always make it passable between downed trees and muddy water rolling out of farmers fields... I don’t miss hurricanes... Seems like most of those folks dodged a bullet with this one. Simply by the grace of the relative weakness of the storm. Make this a Class 2 hurricane and it would have killed a lot of people on a lot of places. Put it at class 4 or 5 and it’s near to unthinkable... |

My parents in the Philly suburbs got hit hard with rain this afternoon but they said the sun is out now. Play Ball!!!

They don’t evacuate and hide, they just wait it out. One day a monster will appear. My grand daughter out there wrote a FB post today about the incredible damage today. I wrote her back to let her know that what they had was a pussycat. A few flooded creeks that blocked some roads and a few trees down. Power out for three hours. It was an inconvenience, and that was all... |
