I hope that Thing doesn’t decide to settle over PA. on Monday or Tuesday.

It’s packing lots of moisture.

A couple of years ago, we got 7” of rain in one day from a hurricane that turned into a tropical depression. There was a lot of flash flooding here. I think it was Isaac.

Ike isn’t done yet with its destruction.

I have relatives that got pounded in Houston and relatives that are getting drenched in Chicago. They have had 8 inches of rain in their area of Chicago and Ike hasn't even made its way up there yet.

Perhaps you're thinking of Isabel in 2003. We lost a couple of 100 foot trees during Isabel. One uprooted, leaned on a second tree, and both threatened the house. Fortunately, we were able to take them down safely despite high winds. We're outside Philadelphia, and although we don't feel these storms like those who live on the coasts, we certainly do experience flash flooding, uprooted trees and power outages.
