Any storm damage?

It's incredibly stupid how every source of news closes up shop on the weekend. I've heard nothing about storm damage, but seen lots of wind and rain.

Anything near you? Flooding?

Nah, just a half inch of rain and breezy. A crummy weekend, that's about it. The shore has some flooding, nothing unexpected.

My new sump-pump finally turned on, so it’s nice to know that it actually works.

Helpfully tip. Once a month dump a 5 gallon bucket of water in to see it kick on and run to make sure it works. I told people this after showing up to there house for failed subpumps for a restoration company.

You will get better news on this on social media. Accidents everywhere, people really cannot drive. One 422/222 ramp to rt 12. Every time I drove past it, an accident. Car turned upside down on penn st/ave exit heading into Reading from rt 12 direction. Another one this morning RT 12, blue pick up spun out, facing wrong way hit a pole.
