canderson Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Just came back from a walk on the Susquehanna here in Harrisburg. Let me just say this: it's downright scary how fast it's rising and how quick it's moving. It sounds like a white rapid creek right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawatch Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Pawatch have you seen the loyalsock??? It's downright scary right now!! I was down that way earlier. My son lives down in Montourville. I was down helping him with water in his basement. He's out of the flood, just ground water problems. My sump pump has been running about 18 hours straight.

NortheastPAWx Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 The good news is, the Susky is going to wind up well short of the 2am forecast point at this rate. 26.3' is the forecast, currently around 20'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxsmwhrms Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 What's the record daily rainfall for Binghamton? If I am adding correctly, they're right at 7" for the day?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 If I heard correctly MDT has set a record but I can't find the daily or event total on my phone. I'm interested to see how the heavy rain north impacts the crest here - I'd assume it has to go higher since that heavy rain this long north want completely forecast (to be this extensive).

Jns2183 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 KMDT set there daily rainfall record before 8 a.m.. this morning. It was only 1.18". Some of the embedded storms are taking more of a NNW turn as they move north of D.C. South of D.C. they are moving due N or slightly NNE. Also starting to see radar returns from Delaware and Jersey moving due NW. It just seems like its all converging on the Susq Valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PennMan Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Look out my friend. The worst may be yet to come tonight.

MAG5035 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 What's the record daily rainfall for Binghamton? If I am adding correctly, they're right at 7" for the day?! I was browsing the daily records for Binghamton and i didn't see any totals near the insanity of this evenings rain. The highest totals i saw I believe were in the 3.5" or so range. http://www.erh.noaa.gov/bgm/climate/bgm.shtml Look out my friend. The worst may be yet to come tonight. Could you imagine if this had targeted our region like what had been forecasted the last couple days up until yesterday eve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jns2183 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Look at this screenshot of Eastern NC. Kita's band's are moving in toward the NW soon to interact even more with the main plume of moisture. Is Kita coming more west than was forcasted with latest guidance?

JSTWX Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Thoughts further north? The situation with the Susquehanna is worrying... Nearly the same situation I'm afraid, but not AS bad as further south. Radar looks increasingly dire for the whole Susquehanna Valley region...from Carlisle to Reading and all point north, south, and in between. Ugly, ugly, ugly. Anybody close to Hershey is really in bad shape. I was browsing the daily records for Binghamton and i didn't see any totals near the insanity of this evenings rain. The highest totals i saw I believe were in the 3.5" or so range. http://www.erh.noaa....imate/bgm.shtml Could you imagine if this had targeted our region like what had been forecasted the last couple days up until yesterday eve? It was interesting to watch the Euro with this event. It was pretty solid in forecasting the nasty band to our east. The nam and gfs pounded us up until yesterday like you said.

I know it is sad in a way, but look at it this way. The flood threat that is shaping up might be your once in a 500yr event, especially for Binghamton. Even if this flood destroyed my home, as long as I had flood insurance I wouldn't care. Just the CHANCE to live a weather weenies wet dream of a storm would be worth it. You will look back at this event and you will be able to tell your grandchildren that you lived through this incredible event, and when you show them the height of the crest they will call you senile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In separate fires. 50 miles apart. My parents have had 6" rain this year and the lake they live on is bone dry. I've now had like 54" for the year and I can hear a raging river from my doorstep. It's all historic, but it's maddening how unfair this all is. And there (for then at least) is no end in sight. Be safe guys and I hope no one suffers any losses from this historic, crazy event!

But I also think it would be cool to experience a VEI 6-7 and to have a year without a summer and global temps drop a few degrees :snowman: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 KCXX was down from about 1 am till 7 am this morning so it missed out on 6 hrs of pretty good rain. Yea CCX was also running its total precip since earlier Sunday before it went down last night. There already had been alot of yellow/red in the Sus Valley (2-4") before this insanity showed up today. Just staggering rainfall amounts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
