Waitin' On Parts...
Irene=It Rained
The Philadelphia area got a lot of rain, and the spots that always flood when we get a lot of rain, well, flooded.
There were reports of tornado conditions in an outlying county to the NW, but no significant damage. One small tornado in Delaware did take out a handful of houses. Lots of power outages in South Jersey, but that's to be expected as they were closer to the eye of the storm.
Could have been a lot worse, but we normally don't get the wrath of Mother Nature here...tornadoes, hurricanes, drought, earthquakes are very rare.
