Last night around 5:30 I got a weather alert over my phone. It told of an imminent threat and to seek shelter. Fiive minutes later the power went out. Remember that scene in the movie twister where the guy picked up a handful of dirt then looked up and said "Its going green"...Well...that's what happened here. I actually saw that green tint in the clouds. Then all hell broke loose. Sheets of rain and winds that had to top eighty mph or better. Chester County got slammed but Delaware County and southern Jersey got mauled. Power lines and trees down across the region, more than 150,000 people are still without power in Pa. Train services between Philly and Atlantic City has been suspended. In Jersey nearly 200,000 people without power and in Deleware 45,000. There have been reports, unconfirmed, about a possible tornado in Jersey and possibly one in Delaware County. My power came back just before midnight. Watching the news right now and all that storm damage, wow! PECO spokesperson says power may not be fully restored until Friday. I've seen badass storms before but this one was almost epic.
