In this Centre Daily Times article, Shane Farrell from Davey's Warminster office says trees are holding their ground during the "mud slurries" of Philadelphia floods.
Skin-clinging humidity, random downpours, heat indexes in triple figures, steamy nights. Welcome to Miami North.
The heat advisory for the entire region has been extended to 8 p.m. Saturday, with more random showers likely. As to when something resembling comfort returns to Philly?

Highs might not get much past 90, but with the atmosphere this steamy, the heat index in Philly had reached 102 at 2 p.m. (In Miami, it was down to 82, thanks to a cooling thunderstorm.)
