OH MY GOODNESS!! I'm glad you're ok. That is kind of crazy!
I'd say it was strange here, outside of Philadelphia. It didn't seem like a ton of rain to me, but in my own neighborhood there are so many houses with flooded basements that hadn't taken in water ever, in the 15 years since the development was built. I didn't see a lot of trees down either, but in a few places VERY close by, tornadoes touched down in little pinpointed areas, and destroyed a lot. Literally, it might be just one building or two houses on the same street. It was a beautiful day an hour after the rain stopped. We are fortunate, and like I said, it was a weird storm here.
