2001kx Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Gettin ready to check that out shortly, i'm sure the local waterways are ragin. I'll probably check out the flood prone stuff around here and over in Sinking Valley. when i lived bellwood i used to always check the river / creek on the back road from blands park to bellwood (little juniata river?) i been out there when you couldnt even see the road (just looked like a big river) that was in 1996 i believe.

canderson Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 What's it like out there? Looks like there's a break in the rain It stopped raining about 8:30 but has started up medium-level again as of about 10 minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckyplayer8 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 2.22 at Ft Indiantown Gap. Went for an umpires meeting and the Swatara is well above flood stage out by Pine Meadows. I'm sure flood prone Harpers Tavern is a nightmare. Naturally no school tomorrow, so hopefully will be able to go out and get some pictures.

pawatch Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Still raining here. My rain gauge says that I got 2.18" edit: 2.47" The creeks have really been on the rise. Lycoming Creek and Loyalsock creek they are watching closely. Pretty heavy rain here all evening. Loyalsock http://waterdata.usg...agency_cd=USGS& Lycoming http://www.lyco.org/...38/Default.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Just checked my rain gauge: 3.3" and raining moderately. Confirmed as Camp Hill has 3.4". Susquehanna now at 12.5' at thr Harrisburg gauge and they have just upped the crest to 23' which would be major flood stage here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paweatherguy1 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Report from Pittsburgh... We have a wsw for 4-8. We are going to be lucky to see 2. Second huge bust for kpit in three weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 when i lived bellwood i used to always check the river / creek on the back road from blands park to bellwood (little juniata river?) i been out there when you couldnt even see the road (just looked like a big river) that was in 1996 i believe. Yup, thats the Little Juniata. Thats funny u used to be from Bellwood, talk about a small world. Any rate just came back, things look to be going to crest at relatively minor levels. Seen very few flooded roads in the areas I was at (northern Blair-northern Huntingdon). The one underpass at Ironsville outside of Tyrone had at least a couple feet of water from the Little Juniata in it and PennDOT had Kettle Road in Sinking Valley closed off. Generally par for the course during a typical flooding event. Think that afternoon break in the action probably helped just enough to keep the local area mostly in check. Looks like there's more decent flooding down on the Frankstown Branch of the Juniata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burghblizz Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Report from Pittsburgh... We have a wsw for 4-8. We are going to be lucky to see 2. Second huge bust for kpit in three weeks. If weather was about how the NAM looks and how Intellicast looked an hour ago you would be correct. Fortunately, there is a little more to it than that. Pretty dynamic system unfolding overhead. It may not be widespread warning verification, but we'll crack the 4". Heavy snow at the moment, with about1" on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh ok, I know where your talkin. Haha that sharp corner going up towards the fire hall's always good for some wrecks even in good weather. I live closer to Bellwood, Up Becker Rd a mile from the grocery store and dollar general (the road with the underpass that was probably the only one ever that had a sign to use your horn before entering) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick G Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 pocono mountians had 5.08 inches of rain.Some local schools are closing. and many of the small creeks are out of their banks in the wilkes-barre area. one person dead due to driving into a flooded street. I am trully frustrated-- since I broke my leg, I cannot drive. I would outside taking pictures and filming some of the flooding... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieOber Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Great mid-long range discussion in Philly forum: http://www.americanwx.com/bb/index.php/topic/12484-medium-long-range-thread/page__st__420 I am more convinced than ever we see our last accumulating snow in April this year.

kwt Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Very interesting pawatch, not all that surprised they broke a record given just how low moving the heavy rain band was, at least it has eased up now and shifted further east/north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 The Susquehanna just went over its banks, now at 17.2". I have a bad feeling it'll reach 22.6" if not more. Many roads around Harrisburg are closed and they just announced PennDOT's main facility is closing because of flooding. Again, I'll be posting photos tomorrow of the angry Susky.

canderson Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 The Susquehanna crested this morning at 2.06' in Harrisburg. I took some photos but honestly it isn't too impressive. Lots of trees in the river, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
