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. .
-
I just wonder if the line running along I-78 is going to rob energy from up north toward Tamaqua and the Poconos.
-
They're popping quickly now. Just drove through a deluge from New Tripoli down to Fogelsville/Trexlertown.
-
And up here I'm wondering if it's not going to live up to the hype. I'm not impressed with the radar thus far. Maybe things will change in a few hours...
-
It's gonna be a fun night of trucking for me. Watch for a YouTube video sometime by the weekend...
-
That was really incredible. We were on the eastern fringe and still got 5" out of it, but what happened west of here was something to see. I really thought that band would move east, but it never really did, and the end result was just epic, from a weather geek standpoint. I'm sure those severely impacted didn't think so.
-
From Walt Drag in the NYC forum. If any of this even comes true, and I'm not sure of the timing of Debby's remnants, it's going to be ugly for some folks. The fact that Drag kind of agrees with this scenario (I highly respect his met skills) speaks volumes to the potential magnitude of this event...

Perusing the meso's this morning, it looks like the region is going to take it on the chin tonight. Nearly all of them indicate some serious storms/rain in the 8pm to midnight hours.
