You gotta wonder if the rain totals for Allentown PA is an orographic thing or an error on the NAM. I see it to for Raleigh NC but that may be true because it is closer to the landfall of Hanna just to the south. I think we'll see if this is REAL or and error on the 12z/8am EST run of the NAM Thursday morning.
Not Too Bad

This doesn't look like a huge deal for those of us in the immediate Philadelphia area (I'm in Cherry Hill, NJ). Based on what I'm reading, I guess we can figure on some downed tree branches and possibly minor wind damage along with a few downpours but no major flooding (perhaps temporary flooded roads during times of heavy rain).
Ike could be another story. More and more that's looking like another east coast runner and it packs a lot more punch than this one. Hopefully it will drop in strength rapidly before coming our way, or else it could be ugly in the Delaware Valley mid to late next week. Ugh.
