I keep a window breaker tool in the console btw seats of both vehicles.
Don't wait until the night you need it to buy one.

Some people may not know this but most recent autos headrest are removable and pointed just for breaking the windows if ever in that situation.

I think I read that before but totally forgot that hack.
But buying a dedicated glass breaker tool etched it in my mind.

Just think some of those fire fighters out there saving people right now have homes are doing the same thing while unattended. These guys usually have shifts that last days so when things slow down for them they have to go home and deal with all that crap. These heros don't get enough credit.

As I've listened to the FDNY scanner tonight I've heard a couple incidents where they was unable to save some of the victims. Some may think there was lack of remorse or sadness in their voices announcing such unfortunate events. But the reality is there isn't time for that as there is somebody else they got to go do their best to save. That is the other mess they'll go home when their shift ends and they finally have time to collect their thoughts.

Prayers for those affected.

Good words.

Lookner just called it a wrap as things wind down, and so shall I.
I know it ain't over by a long, long shot.

To the few'all, Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed water bugs bite.

NJ tornado possibly a high end ef3 or low end ef4

I don't know about that most these flooded homes in NJ and NYC are still going to be able to live in. Many people in Louisiana have homes that are totally destroyed.

That development in Mullica Hill is new ... it's not indicative of the quality of homes in NJ, most of which were built in the 50s around here.

They built a new hospital there. There was a boom ... an influx of yuppies.

My guess is they are built by Ryan Homes but not sure.

It's just some rain really. Scotland type weather.

It's the worst in a long time but you are right ... all the places flood pretty regularly. New Jersey weather is very much like Scotland weather, from what I understand. A little warmer in the summer, but wet. Very green. Lots of water.

Nah we had a huge tornado here it wasn't just "rain"

You can see on the radar what's a pretty typical pattern for storms around here.

They come up across and the bay from the south.

Between the Bay and Mullica Hill it's flat AF and wide open.

There's an Amazon distribution center and lots of cold storage, but mostly corn and soybean fields.

Lots of new development in the Mullica Hill area and Harrison and Logan Twps. because of the new hospital there.

Anyone commuting over the Commodore Barry Bridge to Chester Co or to Philly from points South drive through there ... the Mullica Hill exit is the easiest on/off Wawa along the way, so lots of traffic.

Today around 6 we heard a siren and saw a police SUV flying by, which is highly unusual out here in Pittsgrove in the woods. It was marked Harrison Twp, which is unheard of because it's in a different county ... and we remarked that it shouldn't be speeding with its lights on so far outside Harrison Twp. This tornado must be why.
