SouthernNJ Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 The first TOR for Sussex County DE had what appeared to be a very strong tropical shower which had solid rotation for a long time while over water. It weakened as it got close to Rehoboth Beach, but briefly flared up again right before it reached the shoreline. That is about when the Waterspout was reported (12:10 PM) as seen when also matching up the radar time with the report. The second TOR had a much broader circulation until it closed in on Rehoboth Beach. It began to condense and appeared to have its strongest low-level circulation at the 6:34 PM KDOX loop, which was located between and almost right on top of Henlopen Acres and Lewes. Be interesting to see if anything matches up with this radar observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgerb Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Already 1.29" back home as of now... not good... Exactly the same for me in Somerset, Ray. Dave let me take home the office Vantage Pro2 for the weekend so it's in my backyard. I love it...but I'll be checking my CoCo gauge too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phlwx Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 hahahah no wonder why it didnt show the quote lol The high winds in RIC kinda play into a point Mount Holly made about the highest winds occurring towards the end of the event as the center passes by. Wouldn't surprise me if that (not 70, but the strongest gusts) occur as the eye passes to the east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpantz Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 eye? Certainly appears that way, and it also looks like the circulation center is jogging NNE after some NEward movement.

Sunny and Warm Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 eye? I doubt it stays on that 030 heading, but if it did, it would likely miss a Jersey hit, and hit Nassau County in NY. I think we'll see a wobble back to 015 soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexD Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Jesus. Lewes is a great area. Sucks they got pwned like that. Went about a mile from my house and right behind my workplace and former house(next development over, they are side by side)....I think we heard the roar of it at one point...thought it was the rain on the roof at the time(rain was amazingly heavy during the storms passage.)........and the NWS reisssued the TOR Watch.....ugh....long night ahead.

Parsley Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Jesus. Lewes is a great area. Sucks they got pwned like that. Yup, the whole Delaware shore region is beautiful.....ironically as I sat on their beaches this summer many times, I said to myself "wow, a tropical system would really kicked the crap out of their shoreline".
