Hardly any damage here, but I think the last lot probably got anything that was good for the getting.....

xoxoxoBruce · 06-25-2010, 11:20 PM

Thousands in this area won't be getting power restored until late Sunday, meanwhile, mid 90's and humid.
Coming back from Blue Ball, I tried to avoid traffic by taking back roads through Chester and Delaware Counties. Big mistake.

Jinx, I now understand why you might like a vehicle that could climb a tree. wow.

toranokaze · 06-26-2010, 04:51 AM

IT IS FUCKING HOT HERE== that is all.

holey moley

jinx and lj, I'm sure you've used up all of your bad luck for the next 10 years.

jinx · 06-26-2010, 10:00 AM

Nah, we were very nearly unscathed. The people with crushed cars and houses, and those still without electricity had the real bad luck.
Pieces of a building/roof in Philly took out a whole block of cars...
We only have street trees here - the places around with big tall trees will be cleaning up for a long time.

Yeah, i was gonna say.... if any luck got used then, it was good luck. Glad the tree limbs didn't cause you to crash, or hit the windshield or something.

Roads that were open yesterday were closed today. Power is still out all over. Tons of lines still down, no one working on them.

I was able to get thru here yesterday, and earlier today, but not on my way home tonight.

I'm gonna get jim to video some of our commute tomorrow.

skysidhe · 06-26-2010, 10:23 AM

A very good perspective to have.

With the economy today, and after having panic attacks yesterday, I too had to think of the positive, as if thinking about people with mortgages foreclosing and people exhausting their 401 ks, have to be in way more stress than I.
I at least do not have as far to fall as some.

That is my weather report. Fair to partly cloudy. lol

jinx · 06-26-2010, 10:53 AM

I'd do it again, too.

lumberjim · 06-26-2010, 11:09 PM

my mom just got power at 7:30 tonight. I almost had to clean my whole house so she could come over and take a shower.

phew!

Incredible pics.

sad_winslow · 06-27-2010, 04:41 PM

the tornado pics remind me of my time living in Kansas. Saw some wild weather there for sure. Once I remember standing out on the back porch of my apartment talking on the radio(ham radio) and I said "Hey, i don't mean to.. alarm anybody, but.. I see this.. skyhook coming down right here, I mean it's RIGHT here!" I was scoffed at, because there were no warnings or watches. Turns out, the NWS "forgot" to issue the county the warning. What I saw was, in fact, a skyhook - right over the hospital three blocks away. Luckily, as it started twirling down to the ground, it suddenly caught a powerful gust of wind and just.. blew away.

jinx · 06-28-2010, 07:10 PM

Holy carp I'm sick of the roads being closed, seemingly at random.

xoxoxoBruce · 06-28-2010, 08:42 PM

I saw a PECO crew with 5 trucks today, a quarter mile from my house. They were pulled over chatting where there was no damage, in fact there were no power lines along that road. Now it was very hot and humid, and they've probable been putting long hours, but it was mid-afternoon and it looks bad. Just sayin'.
