Glad to see at least one small upside. But are there usually that many dogs running free in that park?

As the remnants approached the coast on their way out, they combined with a stationary warm front and pulled in additional moisture from the Atlantic Ocean. The remnants, coastal fetch, and jet stream combined to create the rotation that spun up the tornados in Maryland and New Jersey.

One of the NYC TV weather guys was upset before the devastation started that people weren't taking it serious enough, because of the "remnant low" moniker being used in all of the earlier forecasts implying that it was weak and nothing to be concerned about.

On Lakeview Avenue somewhere, probably around S Washington and Stelton.

We did OK, thank you. We are very fortunate. No flooding at our homes or at the business, but it's all around us. A lot of my employees couldn't make it in today, either due to their homes being flooded or just local roads being closed due to floods. It's reminiscent of Sandy 9 years ago.

Probably best to just breathe easy now that the worst is over and you and yours seems to have made it our relatively unscathed. Been a rough week - take the rest of the week if you can. Make sure everyone is as close to 100 as possible and just keep us updated if anything changes in the opposite. Been talking with friends back east all night / morning as it is. Seems like everyone has done okay thus far - in here included.

Have we heard from the rest of the south members yet?

This was the parking lot of my apartment as well as the building next to me around midnight last night.

Fortunately although my unit is ground level I'm on slightly higher ground so the E92 and my apartment were okay. But you can see some of the other units in the back had water halfway up their door.

Happened really fast as the main road flooded and eventually poured mass amounts of water down the driveway all at once.

Holy crap! I just realized that the flood water in that picture is covering the *downstream* side of the Newmarket Pond Dam!

My old man's side of the family lived in several houses two blocks north of there, on the other side of the railroad tracks. The last time that I was there was to bury my last grandparent in 2005.

You just gave me a flashback of the "nuclear" house! (I think it was near William and N Randolphville?) I wonder what happened to that mess, and if it was remediated or determined to be safe?????

Thanks for asking.

I'm certainly not all "Hell fire and brimstone"!
That's a tad extreme.

And although I am definitely a man of faith, I also appreciate and understand the Science of Nature, Global Warming and its effects on our Climate.
The increase of human population, the expansion of fossil fuel use, the decimation of our precious forests and the very trees and plants that help stabilize Carbon Dioxide and its damaging effects to the Ozone Layer are absolutely real and scientifically proven.
What can we do better?
The exact solution is probably not clear cut. But what is, are the helpful and productive habits we can apply and use:
Stop deforestation.
More Solar, Wind and other energy producing methods.
Incentivize Carpooling. Stricter regulations and fines for companies who are blatant offenders of pollution causing manufacturing processes.

To name a few.

Our planet is indeed warming up consistently. Colder regions ice caps are melting. The oceans are rising and warming. We must achieve some type of balance...
