  1. That area on route 67 has a small brook, maybe about 15 feet wide. I believe that was mainly "just" runoff from the surrounding hills.
  2. These are all the same areas that got destroyed in 1955. Army Corp of Engineers then designed and built several dams around here to deal with something similar. But a lot of those feeder rivers today were just roaring like nothing seen before. I can't imagine how the Housatonic is handling this. The other thing to consider is all the sewage plants along the Naugatuck river that were flooded; the untreated effluent was just washed into the river.
  3. Another 2-3 inches right on the bullseye.
  4. Bunch of drunks in an Oxford bar flooded with water, filming houses and playgrounds floating by. Pretty funny.
  5. Good Lord, that is awful. The stories of destruction just keep on coming.
  6. Who the hell makes the decision to drive through that? It's not like it comes within 10 seconds.
  7. Sometimes you SHOULDN'T pay attention to those road signs.
  8. Helicopters to rescue dozens of people stuck on a shallow island in the Housatonic/Lake Zoar.
  9. Yup. Probably wouldn't get this much water with Ernie anyway. Our cars and chicken coops may have washed away, but we still have our homes.
  10. Yeah, and then that line of storms advancing from the west.
  11. Just dropped my mom off back home and I saw a chicken coop floating down the Nonnewaug.
  12. There should be a CNN crew or Cantore showing up...Round two backbuilding at this moment.
  13. That is unbelievable. Never saw anything like that there in 40 years. The Pomperaug river must have burst its banks.
  14. Yup. Only hope is the backbuilding down north of Greenwich. Trying to top 6 here. 5.19.
  15. Yeah, even worse to the west. They're pulling 3.5"/hour stuff. I just hit 1.4. No end in sight.
  16. Just coming into Litchfield County. Rare to see rain this heavy. Literally watching the digital gauge go up a hundreth of an inch every 10 seconds.
  17. Just hit 1" since 4am. Torrential wall of rain just to my south moving in. 65/65
  18. Lucky you. Crappy here all day. Clouds, toxic Canadian fumes, cool. So I stayed in and listened to Lex Fridman interview Frank Wilczek et al, and watched planes take off from JFK on flightradar24.
  19. I was walking through the Colosseum at Rome several weeks ago. It was not uncommon for ferocious tigers and wolves to battle it out...to the end.
