My day shift truck partner shot these at the spring last night...
-
I hear ya. Not only is the low visibility bad, but the insanely loud splats of the raindrops hitting the windshield can be unnerving.
-
So many times it's like this. Gorgeous weather the day after a big storm.
-
So the final tally for my backyard station from yesterday was 4.43" giving me 5.96" for the week/event starting with the storms on Tuesday afternoon.
-
So this happened since my last post....
-
Torrential rain now. Up to 1.53" now for today. Might crack 2" if it continues for awile. My apologies for being a Debby downer during this event...
-
Getting our best rain/wind now with a band moving in from the southwest. Looks like things might settle down some before I start my work shift, however.
-
You can't make this shit up...lol Current... Future...
-
Case in point. This stuff is moving south to north. Of course it missed JUST to the east of me...
-
Of course it does. I know I'll get flamed for this, but so many times the interesting, or anomalous weather misses me west, east, north, or south. Tamaqua seems to sit in a benign location. Even Sandy kind of "hopped" over the town. While areas all around me had flooding, winds, and power outages, if you were in Tamaqua, you'd have asked "what storm?" I stood on my porch and listened to the wind roar on the ridgetops, but yet at my house it was just a somewhat breezy night.
-
So far we've had 1.01" since midnight, and .86" yesterday for a two day tally of 1.87" which comes out to 2.54" since Tuesday. In a lull right now, but it's breezy and tropical feeling this morning. Not sure if we see any more "feeder bands" or not this morning and when/if some of that main slug out west comes through.
-
Yup. Just open the hatch and let nature load it.
-
I'm still on the outside looking in...
-
I'm hugging the herderps...lol
-
Tick it east some more please.
-
You laugh. Sometimes we actually do open up and dump it. Mostly is happens if, after testing, there's too much turbidity which sometimes occurs right after the spring filters are changed, or we get a heavy rain. With our overweight 8,000 gallon tankers, the state only gives us a permit to run from spring to plant. We can't legally take it back to the yard if something goes wrong.
-
Me first. You guys get the leftovers...lol
-
Is that a NWS graphic?
-
Watching Debby's remnants keep drifting westward just depresses me.
-
Nah, bring on the flooding. I need interesting YouTube content...lol All kidding aside, no one really wants flooding, and a slow soaker is the most beneficial. But the cameras will be rolling Friday afternoon/evening anyway.
-
He's going to have to wait. I'm self-serving. Since I only got .35, I'm taking some to my house first.
-
I wish I knew. My rain gauge malfunctioned while I was in Arizona, and I fixed it on Memorial Day. I have 9.53" since then, but don't know what I got prior.
-
You southen guys robbed me of a good rainer...lol Up my way it was rather pedestrian. I got .35" and what's still coming appears to be shrinking south as well. Maybe I get another 0.05" if I'm lucky.
-
Me too, but that a topic for some other forum...lol Up to .26" in my backyard. Lightning and raining again at the water plant in Fogelsville (Allentown).
-
That line did do the damage for Tamaqua. All of the good stuff is/was from the Blue Mountain south. Nothing but 0.01" so far in my backyard. .
