eyewall Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Eyewall, out of curiosity, where were you in SW Durham County when you got those pics? That's fairly close (as in a few miles) to MBY, as we're in Tuscaloosa-Lakewood, a couple miles southwest of downtown just off US 15/501. If you see the Lakewood weather station on Weather Underground, we're less than a half-mile from that. Revere RD and RT. 54 by I-40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isopycnic Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Solid line about to move through Raleigh and surrounding areas. As for the recent TOR-warned storm, it appears as though the strongest circulation happened between Hillsborough and Schley, between 140 and 145 PM EDT. I was uo this way this evening for a job interview and saw no damage as well. It seems all radar signatures of a tornado were elevated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkman Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I had .5" at 2pm today, caught the storm train this afternoon and ended up with 3.9". I'm thrilled to get that much, really thought I was going to miss out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JQPublic Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 It's amazing how efficient these systems are sometimes. The next bout of rain is going through the 1 section of Wake county that hasn't rcvd 1" of rain from this system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moose4 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Revere RD and RT. 54 by I-40. Cool, thanks. That's about a mile from where we used to live (we were in the Hamptons off 54 very close to 55). We're in a north-south slot of rain that's just running over us in Durham like a conveyor belt. Steady, hard rain and a good bit of lightning too. This looks like all the rain they were calling for us to get yesterday and earlier today that never materialized!

chapelhillwx Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 ~2.30" here storm total. Radar estimates say 4"+ but according to the weatherbug station on the roof of my school, that's wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheapdad00 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Flash flood warning up for my area now. Thunder is rolling in as well...time for round three! Absolutely chucking buckets here now. Will be interesting to see how filled up Cary Park lake gets with this storm and how many of my neighbors' basements flood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I ended up in the rain shadow for this one. Large amounts never materialized here in NW NC. For the Sunday-Tuesday period I finished with 0.99 inches. I'm glad for what I got, but it was a far cry from the forecasted ~5 inch amounts being thrown around. Maybe next time...

I live near an easement and I just hope the day the big one comes, the sewer drain doesn't backup! It does look like things are starting to wind down upstream though.

WidreMann Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Just rained sooooo hard. I'm at 3.45" now and was at 2.30" 40 minutes ago. So what's up with IGX? Radar estimates 4-5" for the area. It has rained buckets several times today. Yet the IGX totals around at a little over an inch and most of that was with this night's storm between 10 and 11. RDU is also showing low totals. Undercatch? But there's no wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure.... but 3.5" ish is still a lot of rain. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCBlizzard Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Only ended up with 1.84", but it was definitely enough to make everything green again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonGA Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I picked up 2.97" with the storm and another .25" from drizzle/light rain last night. It would be nice if winter storms had this kind of wrap around moisture to work with. Currently 59 with mist/drizzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 .51" on Tuesday, .98" total for Lee - not anywhere near as much as surrounding counties, but given the lack of rain this summer, I'm happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bob Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 10.1" in my gauge here at the house...due to the longevity of this storm plus drought conditions the flash flooding was not as bad as say May 2003...though there were certainly quite a few impacts. My sister who lives in Canton was in the path of the EF1...roof damage and numerous trees down in her house but all were safe and sound....A few pics from around east side of Chatt....Pic 1 is East Brainerd Rd at Jenkins; Pic 2 is Gunbarrel Rd near the mall; Pic 3 is Heritage Park.

Western parts of the county only had less than .80" Only ended up with 1.84", but it was definitely enough to make everything green again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
