Jeebus. This looks like the sort of damage in Alabama in 2011...

Was just coming to post that. Crazy, and in an area where they don’t know how to deal with tornadoes.

Kids just reminded me that we met a family from Mullica Hill last week. I think they’re still down here at their beach block hyper-house so hopefully OK (and able to weather any damage to their home). Guy is apparently the mango-king of Philly?

I remember the live shots of Battery Park in NYC during Sandy. Yowza.

Why Johnny Mango! That’s just my game.

Might be more widespread as opposed to the inundation along the rivers from Sandy.

Maybe not as high as Sandy in spots but more areas flooded. Dunno.

This is scary as hell. This winery they show is about 5 miles as the crow flies from where I grew up:

Sorry about the mangos. Stay safe frogs.

My school bought some time with a delayed opening but I think we’re gonna be closed tomorrow. Damn place was built on a swamp in the 1950’s cause the land was cheap so it floods pretty easily. Don’t think we will be the only one to close, either.

Schools closed tomorrow here right outside of Philly. The main street near where I live is closed from 11th Avenue all the way down to the river, which is about a mile. The river is projected to crest at 2:00 a.m. at 20 feet. I don't really know what that last sentence means, but it doesn't sound good.

Oh, and this may be that same Mullica Hill tornado. This is going over the Burlington Bristol Bridge.

We border Newark and the last two hours were insane. Across the street was water up to their front steps, we were halfway, the road was underwater and a friend 4 blocks away had his basement windows go under the water line and give, putting water up to his basement ceiling. Floods are for assholes.

My wife saw footage of flooding in town back home (Vauxhall Home Depot) on FB. Can’t find it on Twitter, if TB wants a challenge.

She’s checked in with our neighbors and our street has been fine so far.

Videos from NYC subway seems to rival what I recall from Sandy.

serrano · Post by **serrano** » Wed Sep 01, 2021 10:26 pm

We’re vey lucky that our house is on the crest of a hill but 10 doors down the houses are starting to flood. Mental note: try not to buy real estate close to any thoroughfare named “Riverside Drive”.

On another matter, the plaster ceiling in my upstairs hallway started getting a water stain so I put in a screw on a string to relive the pressure and it’s starting to drain. Was supposed to get a new roof late last week but roofer had to push it to this Saturday. Cool.

Water started coming in at 7:30. Filled a 5 gallon wet vac over 30 times and countless buckets. Neighbor and his hs son came over to help. 5 of us with vac, towels and mops kept it under control. Finally caught up and dried the rest of the room while i keep vacuuming where it came in. Good news, supposed to stop raining earlier, now 1-2 instead of 3. Not sure when the water will stop coming in.

ETA: fuck, it’s a 9 gallon vac!
