...THE TORNADO WARNING FOR NORTHWESTERN MONTGOMERY COUNTY WILL EXPIRE
AT 1115 AM EDT...
The storm which prompted the warning has weakened below severe
limits, and no longer appears capable of producing a tornado.
Therefore, the warning will be allowed to expire.
A Tornado Watch remains in effect until 400 PM EDT for southeastern
Pennsylvania.

As it turned out our power expired minutes after the alert.
Best guess for return is 11PM.
I guess I will spin awhile, that should keep me out of trouble

Not as long as my cell phone works.
I am spun out and need to get back to work. My weather station shows 6.93 inches and still raining.

Still no power and the projection is 8 PM tomorrow night. I took a ride to see if I could find it, it is a tree down about a mile away. The bad news is the power company is not there, the good news is the road is closed.
The streams are back in their banks but they weren't a little while ago. There was some serious flooding along the streams.

We had a tornado here in Zion. And, things quickly went bad, with one death. Tornados just don't happen at this altitude, and we were simply not ready for it.

As it turned out it was multiple problems, not just one tree. That is normally the case with most happenings.
In any event, our power came on this morning at 4 AM---before the refrigerator and freezers lost their reserve. All we still have to deal with is a flooded basement---but things could be much worse! Thanks be to the linemen
A women near here lost her life---she drove into deep water and was washed away. It seems that no matter how many times you hear the warning about that it still happens
In our local area, the road crews know where the water will cover the roads and they put up barricades to close the roads. The only problem with that is I have actually seen people get out (most often lifted pick-ups), move the barricades and then drive across. The worst part of that is; the jerk has now removed the barricade for the next one to come along. In the worst cases police or firemen are posted to stop traffic. I am not sure of the details of this young ladies tragedy. I do believe that a sign program showing at what point the water depth posses a danger could possibly help. Something to the effect of: "Flooding Danger when the Water Line passes this Point."

It works...Many years ago in Conroe such a gradient sign was erected on both sides of an underpass running beneath a railroad mainline in Conroe...As I recall, it is identified up to the 16 foot mark...I can't remember the last time I heard of a vehicle being trapped there...Originally Posted by Dave Grubb

When I was out late in the day on Tuesday to see if I could find the problem with the power (it was more than one) I went past some of my corn and it was blown down. I didn't try to make a serious evaluation but much of it I didn't expect to come back. This morning I had a 7 AM dentist appointment and noticed that probably 95 % has at least partially come back up and should not he harmed. This happened along the edges of the fields on the windward side(s) and I don't expect any damage inside the fields.
On another note---the deer are coming together again. This morning there was 7 total together; three doe and four fawns. As I watched it appeared they were about to be joined by another doe but I didn't have time to watch what happened.
