And as a note, despite some trying to put PA in the "Midwest", Philly is about 50 miles from the Atlantic Ocean and we have parts that are "below sea level", the city mostly part of what is dubbed "the coastal plain", although I am up a couple hundred feet where the Piedmont starts factoring in and is where the "fall line" is.
