A Mayberry Thursday

Well, mary is off to the state capital for a training session, Dan is snoozing in the air condtioning, and I have been out working on the pool. Funny, feels like Mayberry, and since Mary is the one off to Raleigh, I guess that makes me Aunt Bee. Nevermind... It seems like most have gotten power back in the area, although I was talking with a guy at the station this morning and his section of the township still is out after almost 40 hours. Forget modern technology when PECO still has to go out and put the wires back on the poles. We are all still getting remnant calls for wires and trees down, and the fire cops in the northern part of the county are still coping with traffic control where traffic lights are still out. Things are gradually getting back to normal. Of interest, the NWS documentation for the severe thunderstorm event has been posted. The peak gust reported in this area was 71 mph in Glenmoore, PA, about 6 miles northwest of here, along with nickel-sized hail. Trust me, I was out during the strongest part of the storm and my car was rocking side to side. The only good side effect of the storm was that it did cool down a bit, at least for the evening. Today, the humidity is back up higher than it was over the weekend, another hot day ahead. So I am back to playing Aunt Bee, the pool boy.
