JR, I went looking for an update on Barry last night and I read an article about how wet it's been in PA and Jersey. Glad you stayed where you were!
Wind direction is the whole game here for weather. We've been in a N, NW, NE, E flow instead of the usual prevailing SW winds in summer. No floods, and very abnormally light winds, the rain we've been getting is more like one of those expensive precision hoses that you can set on crazy gentle, practically aerosol sprinkle, you'd think you need an oxygen mask because it's basically water out there.... but very soft, just a constant flow... then the wind shifts and the clouds part and it's summer for a half a day... lots of fog too in between and darn cold. Sitting in the house wearing a jacket in july! But no floods, so we can't complain. Somebody always has it worse.
I read that the White House basement was flooded, too. Apparently that's where they keep the reporters.
