NortheastPAWx Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Yeah, the hi res models the last two events did a very good job at saying where the heaviest rain was going to be and also where it wasn't going to be (approximately se of I95). They tend to run hot on total qpf, but they showed the potential and the orographic effects that existed with these systems. 1.30" here as an event total. They also nailed the major dropoff in the nearby valleys. 1.41" here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Unionville-Chadds Ford School District closed today. Moderate flooding on the Brandywine @ Lenape. Route 1 SB was closed, maybe re opened now. Much longer commute today. only reason is likely becase the one middle school sites on hill next on Rt 926 and near rt 100 on the Brandywine. The high school on rt 82 has no concerns for flooding. Small percent of the population lives on or near the brandywine from the Rt 162, Rt 842, Rt 52, Rt 926, rt 100 zone. Most people would not experince any major flooding, although there are a few large creeks and streams that can flood, but nothing to severe if my memory holds correct.

atownwxwatcher Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I guess it all depends on where you are... EASTON, Pa. -- "I'm just out here sightseeing," said Michael, an Easton resident. It's the talk of the town. And 69 News wasn't the only one capturing the sights. "We just came to see how high it is," a sightseer told us. It's high, well over three feet above the flood plain and it's not supposed to crest until 1:00 Saturday morning. "I pitty my poor brother because he owns a bake shop right on the water," said Shirley Mae Compton, a lifelong Easton resident who lived through the flood of 1955. It's been a long time since Easton has seen raging waves in their rivers and some are concerned about the potential damage if waters reach Easton's downtown. Water has taken over parts of 611, Lehigh Drive, and Bushkill Drive in Easton, forcing road closures. "We're looking at 25-26 feet, when we start looking at 27 or 28 feet there's moderate flooding right along here. Thirty feet, it's into the city," said Mayor Sal Panto. Experts say 30 feet is pretty unlikely but it will be muddy down on the riverfront for a while. This flood is already ranked as Easton's 8th highest river crest "Right now our only concern is at the Bushkill Creek. Beautiful homes right along the creek but the waters in the middle of their cellars Hopefully it doesn't get into their first floor," said Panto Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Farmatin, Simple facts I am the transportation manger for North America for a retail company, I pay attention to weather as a weenie. I make the decisons that support top mgmt to close or operate stores in weather events that affect sales/store operations. My DC (this region) is near Bergen/Hudson county We have people that communte to my DC location from Long Island(Central), CT (Western), NJ as far south as trenton, PA - Freehold, New Hope-East Stroudsburg zone, and NYC all locations(bless their heart).. People take the "long way" to avoid such roads on Friday. Hense the people WTfF when I tell them I got off the NNJ TPK exit and took low road with only deep puddles.. It was closed early in the week with batch #1 and XYZ toll both has very deep pockets of water. Normal people get scared of hearing of flooding rains! We shared laughs and speculated what rivers are expected to crest according to Noaa on saturday night or Sunday according to my weather board and twitter reports. . PS. I did ask toll both lady at xyz if my work road to XZT town was flooded Friday. she informed that weather reports spared us some what and she took the long way in but her boss came down my road 2 hours ago with knee deep puddles, but open. I spoke with the the store manager on Friday at Willow Brook Mall that morning about flooding. My company operates a large store in this mall. He informed that rumors are flying etc. 2010 the mall was closed for 3-4 days and typically it take it an a group company e-mail that shwoed NOAA info that informed the river would crest late Saturday night or early sunday and told my carrier to go according to plan and avound creek etc. The store manger informed that the off ramps flood eaily to the mall, but he would keep me updated. Prior years a flash flood occured in the 80"s, so we take it serious. My on site dedicated TL carrier e-mailed me the FEMA flood map etc, and asked what the plan was exactly. I sent a group e-mail out with local NWS service info that explaned the Passiac River was going to crest possibly Saturday or Sunady, but if severe flooding occurs we may be be closed Friday). It was my call Thursday to do the Friday store delivery at 0600 becasue NOAA forecasted no flooding until Satirday at some point) If the NOAA was wrong I would have had to pay a truck order not used for the river not flooding at that point). I just want to say that the idea that I would talk bad about Toni or Walt Drag, is comical. I respect the PHL and NOAA gang much better than any mickey mouse company that does not have the same resouces. thank you, Dark Star PS, I still stand by that people in all NYC metro were expecting not to be able to get to work because of rain!
