There must have been a tornado somewhere. I watched the rain change directions from hitting the rear of the house to the front of the house so fast it made me think there has to be rotation somewhere. We lost power and have several large branches down blocking the road. We went out and moved one of them that was across the road into our driveway but a bigger one at the corner is still attached to the tree and blocking half the road. Today will be a fun day of cleanup for a lot of people! :shock:

looking at the radar on weather.com. Looks like it should be out of the state in an hour or so. I hear there's potential for nickel size hail..

Been a nice dark morning of no rain or anything.

Sucks cause I have a test to do, and this weather is going to make me actually do it...

We just had tornado warnings again and another round of wicked storms. All I hear is sirens, I think a house somewhere in the neighborhood got hit and might be on fire! I bet we've gotten 4-5" of rain already this morning. I need to run up and check on the boat/dock when it lets up.

There are lots of trees split apart on the golf course across the street and the fairways were raging streams for a while! Between the storm Friday and the 2 storms this morning it's amazing there aren't more trees down.

I thought I read somewhere this morning that a tornado touched down at Trenton Mercer Airport.

Been just pouring here all day. Radar shows we're just missing the really bad stuff, but we might get some in a little bit depending on how it moves through the area.

Yeah, I heard a hangar roof was torn off. We have a lot of trees split in half or ripped out of the ground. I'm about 3/4 mile from the airport so we were pretty close to the center of it I guess. Now the river is raging as are all the local streams and creeks. I just got back from checking on the boat/dock and at least they are still there for now!

I got to drive south to north through all that, it was coming down so hard traffic was slowed to 30 at times on the parkway

Yea, I woke up around 7:45 this morning in the middle of the storm, then went out to buy milk during the second round. I was following a few of Pennington Road's fire trucks on my way home and they were definitely heading to the West Trenton area, so possibly to the airport.

When I was at Halo Farms a little before 1:00pm my wife's Grand Cherokee was swaying back and forth while parked....wind was crazy.

Also sounds like no tornado touched down at the airport, just wind damage:

TRENTON — Another round of severe weather hammered New Jersey on Sunday, spurring flooding in many areas that left some people briefly trapped in their vehicles.

Northern areas were hit hardest by the latest storm, which contained heavy rains, strong winds and dangerous lightning.

A tornado warning was issued for Mercer County in central Jersey, where the storms destroyed a Civil Air Patrol operations trailer at Trenton-Mercer Airport, but no other problems were reported before the advisory expired.

The flooding forced authorities to close numerous roadways, and minor to moderate flooding was reported at several small rivers and creeks across the state.

The storms were expected to finally leave the region sometime Monday morning.

There are still a bunch of firetrucks down at Jacob's Creek Road so I think a house was hit by some trees or some other damage. They've been down there all day. Most of the trees down I saw were on the golf course, our road, Bear Tavern, Scotch Road and over by the airport. My cousin said they had no wind up in Titusville so I guess it was really localized.

I was driving on 287 around noon time between exits 10 and the exit for Rt 9....ridiculous amounts of rain!

I went out and played 9 holes of golf yesterday after work and wow! There must be at least 40-50 trees either split in half or down on the ground. One section looks like a bulldozer came through and just knocked down 10-20 trees. I doubt it was a tornado, but it was close enough. You can pretty much follow the path of trees right across I95 over to the airport too where it flipped over some trailers and moved some planes around.
