Current status: light snow started overnight, a bit later than expected - roughly midnight.
New accumulation looks to be only around 4" (we still had a solid 3-5 on the ground depending on prior shoveling) but the measurements are made very difficult by the fact that it's falling *sideways* and visibility out my windows is awful.
On a positive note, traffic is definitely lighter than usual, even for a Sunday morning.
FLASH FLOOD WARNING UNTIL 2245H
Do not attempt to travel unless fleeting am area subject to flooding.

That was insane.
I cannot verify the tornado comments, but I wouldn't be surprised in the least.
That was the fastest moving, second scariest storm I've ever experienced.
Bravo to whomever okayed the #CodeRed warning. It usually isn't that timely.
Frak.
This is a (truncated) message from #ReadyChesco.
Kennett Library (320 E. State Street) is available as a cooling center if needed. The Library will be open during all of the peak temperature hours (9:00am-9:00pm).

Please check on neighbors & friends.
