It was incredibly warm here today. I came home and was running around with my daughter in shorts and a t-shirt, and sweating. Tomorrow morning will be a rude awakening.

The real question:

Did Donald tweet about global warming?

[NailedPenguin]

41.9' expected here by Sunday night. Second straight flood weekend. Bright side is everyone cleaned all the junk out of their garages and basements last weekend when the water hit 39'.

Oh lord...sorry to hear that.

[Viva la Ben]

I hope you aren’t in a tent.

[Silentom]

Hope you are packing an inflatable raft.

[robbiestoupe]

We're in lean-to shelters, but will consider bringing a raft.

Picked a bad weekend for our winter camping trip

Oh lord...sorry to hear that.

Turned out to be a decent trip. 4 guys backed out, so it was just my buddy and I. We walked in before the rain and left after all the rain Saturday night. Even got a 1 mile hike in Saturday afternoon.

We drove over to Ohiopyle just to see what the river looked like Sunday morning. The Yough was at 10', but I could see evidence that it peaked near 12'. Almost to the height of the parking lot near the falls.

Rain playing havoc in Western PA. Landslides everywhere.

A co-worker had a massive tree in her yard uproot due to the soft ground and land on her and her husband’s car, totaling both of them. The thought of that happening never even crossed my mind and now I’m panicky about the massive tree next to my house.

[Silentom]

Hmm, I should probably be worried about the 75' pine in my yard.

[blackjack68]

Had an 80' pine come down but thankfully fell the only way it could without damage...except a power line.

Had a tree guy quote me $2000 to take it apart. The damn thing was already down!

Went and bought a chainsaw and two replacement chains and did it myself over two days.

That said @Silentom , pines are notorious for having shallow roots. Heavy rains followed by winds can topple them right over.

[Silentom]

Super.
