snowNH Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 With the possibility of a 'cane striking the east coast in 7-10 days and a trough in place over the east coast, I wanted to know which hurricane remnants have dropped a lot of rain over NE? Wasn't there major flooding in WMA and SWNH a couple years back from a 'cane's remnants? Post images and loops if you got them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Tammy in 2005 (I believe it was Tammy) dropped a ton of rain in NJ and up through sw NH. The flash flood deaths in Alstead NH were the result of it.

Juliancolton Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Are we only including remnants, or does this still cover storms like Hanna and Floyd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flash flood deaths in Alstead NH were the result of it. That Tammy/TD 22 complex was probably the most significant flooding event from a post-trop TC I've ever personally seen. I got 13" of rain.

Ehh, I guess I still can't order multi-day radar data from the NCDC NEXRAD inventory... it's only impressive if you see the full event loop.

Johnno Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Wow, didn't realize how much rain actually fell here, no wonder we flooded like we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Wow, didn't realize how much rain actually fell here, no wonder we flooded like we did. Yeah about 30" in 4 days in the headwaters of the Farmington River will do that. 1 in 500 year flood no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Not hurricane remnants, but look up the Vermont Flood of 1927... 150-300% normal rainfall in October followed by 6-9" of rain in early November. Worst natural disaster in state's history. 84 killed including the Lt. Governor, over 1200 bridges washed out http://www.erh.noaa.gov/btv/events/27flood.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I know this was mentioned before, but the Hurricane of '38 not only brought up its own heavy rainfall, but a trough was stalled across the region for the better part of the week before. Very heavy rainfall from that as well. Found this on HPC's website: http://www.hpc.ncep....xpress1938.html Of course, as we know about hurricanes as they accelerate up the east coast, the heaviest rain shifts to the west of the center of the storm. Though, looking at the map above, it's interesting to see the heavy rain into the Connecticut valley. This is also on the NWS BOX website. This is a really nice review of rainfall distribution with transitioning tropical systems (of course by DRV). http://www.erh.noaa....ion_LFTC_NE.pdf --Turtle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 1955 was insane westfield river crested at 34.20 which is unheard of!!!! to give you an idea of how bad it was 20ft is a life threatening flood Sounds like 4/1987 on the Kennebec, which crested at 34.5' in Augusta. Flood stage is 12'. Not up to CT/MA records for 8/55, but Canistear Reservior in NW NJ had nearly 22" that August, including 11" from Connie and 8" from Diane. Until I see a bigger number (9/1999?), I'll view that as the wettest month in NJ records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
