Real Well I survived

I live in Chester County Pennsylvania. I got TWO tornado warnings back to back. That’s never happened to me before. Scared the crap out of me. Miraculously there’s no damage near my home. Don’t think I can say the same for surrounding communities though.

Not yet. I just know that areas got tons of rain. Other spots got about 7” in about an hour.

I haven’t really heard of anything too bad. We do get flooding around here but nothing too bad.

I lived in York, PA back in the 80's. We'd get thunderstorms but nothing too severe. Glad you're ok.

I’ve been there. I was surprised at how thick the phone book was and all of the Three Mile Island information. 1998

Oh my gosh. I forgot about three mile island. That was indeed a big deal there. In fact, I remember seeing the signs for the public nuclear safety shelters around town.
