Storm hit south eastern pa pretty hard.

Knocked out my power, internet and tore the chimney off my house. The outside internet cable was draped over the road and I was out in the rain with a flashlight stopping cars so they wouldn’t run in to it until one of my neighbors was able to get some clippers and clip it. Even had to help an ambulance get by it while stopping cars to let them go. Now I’m sitting outside looking at the farm field outside my house but it’s all dark, I can hear the fireworks but not see them but I am watching a ton of fireflies on the field on the side of my house.. I think that’s better. Got a bit of beer and having a ok night. Sometimes you gotta take a step back. Love you all and happy fourth no matter what that orange mullet Mohawk fucker has done. We’ll beat him.

Here, in Southwestern Pennsylvania, we got some rain, but it mostly stopped by 7:00 PM. It appears Southeastern Pennsylvania got hit much worse.
