ThePhotoGuy Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I'd like to see the person who is stuck - I'm guessing it's either an idiot guy with a truck who though it'd be fine...or some clueless woman who absolutely HAD to go that way. Or a late 60s couple who drove into a flooded road on Burns Crossing Rd around 2:00AM this morning and the police used ropes to rescue them. The officers and the couple almost drowned.

H2O Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 yeah so much for the lower PWATs leading to less efficient precipitation processes.... I blame the heat lightning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.J Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 unreal stories just 15 miles to my South. Steady and slow up is the story with this storm. up to 5.1" total in Ballenger Creek since Sunday with 1.45" since 8 AM this morning; 2.85 in the last 24 hours. My lawn has water sitting on top...I can't image what MoCo looks like especially the rush hour traffic!! Yep my husband left Rockville and it took him 1 hr. 15 min. actually not bad with this rain. But told him that he left when 270 was easy to see on the map. It is a red blob now. My rain gauge is right at 5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TradeWinds Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Yep my husband left Rockville and it took him 1 hr. 15 min. actually not bad with this rain. But told him that he left when 270 was easy to see on the map. It is a red blob now. My rain gauge is right at 5" looks like we'll be in and out of the light rain a brief moderate burst or even stop so thankfully we won't have to deal with mass flooding. Imagine Frederick with these rates since they flood so easily. I'm also surprised we haven't heard of sinkholes up this way with 6+ inches from Irene/Lee coming after the earthquake.
