Kmlwx Posted August 27, 2011 Author Share Posted August 27, 2011 We have a dead tree that's been dead for a few years...it's a huge mature Oak...if it fell it would crush our house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethesdaWX Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Unlike most of the MA/NE, Glen Echo has seen below normal precip all summer so the saturation issue is less significant, hopefully. Not as many large trees here since the summer storm a yr ago, but if some are weaker to any extent they'll fall right on the powerlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I don't have a rain gauge, so I put a drinking glass (no slanted sides) out on my deck. I'll measure the depth of the water in the glass with a tape measure and post my obs accordingly. I use a large coffee cup, but you're going to find that our method is surprisingly accurate! Also, I was lucky enough to get a battery back up for the sump pump today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I was lucky enough to get a battery back up for the sump pump today. Cool good to know! I just put on a coffee can on the patio table. Hope it doesn't blow over! I can just use a ruler to measure? I don't have to do anything special right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 We have a dead tree that's been dead for a few years...it's a huge mature Oak...if it fell it would crush our house. Go pour some gasoline on it right now and light it. Maybe it can help strengthen the storm from the heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but he just "died" 27 minutes ago, so intercepting a nado might be a tad difficult. Is there going to be a funeral or are we going to pull a "Weekend at Bernie's /Ian's?"

WVclimo Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Had planned on cutting the grass this afternoon, but some showers moving in, so I guess that's out. GFS is wetter here than NAM. May pull out better than 0.50" storm total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I generally don't like quoting posts from other regions and laughing about it, but... Hmmm thats really weird... GFS does let it rot of NC for like 12 hours almost. Maybe slightly east on last few frames? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
