NaoPos Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Man. Went to bed at midnight and radar was cleat over Philly. Wake up to a fire hose setting up. Work @firehouse at 7am will not be fun. My normal crew actually just had a basement fire in a row home bout 30 mins ago. Apparently the basement had 3' of water in it with a gas fed fire in the ceiling/walls. Luckily they got a knock. I picked a terrible time to burn a vaca time. !! Not sure if water in basement was from rainfall directly or from a burst pipe. No coincidence I would guess 1st that it happened with heaviest rain. I'll update when I get in to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunny and Warm Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 5.32" in Macungie (western Lehigh) since 11pm Sunday. Not bad since the lancaster area saw over that amount just yesterday. Got caught in the proverbial dry slot overnight I have a house near a creek, thus my happiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaoPos Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Yeah and not much for us which i guess is a saving grace for us in Delco. wouldnt be surprised if we picked up a quick 1.5-2" of rain here in delco. Plenty enough for me. seems like this line has more of a NNE motion to it than a due N one. not outta the woods yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blinkers88 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 So is this over or are we getting more rain later on today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny and Warm Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 So is this over or are we getting more rain later on today? from Mt Holly: .SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/... IT APPEARS THAT THE LARGER SCALE FORCING WEAKENS IN OUR CWA AS THE DAY PROGRESSES ON THURSDAY AND GETS REPLACED BY MORE THERMODYNAMIC INDUCED SHOWERS AND TSRAS. STILL ANOTHER DAY WHERE ADDITIONAL ONE INCH PLUS RAINFALL AMOUNTS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION IN LOCALIZED SPOTS AND REASON WE EXTENDED THE FFA. GIVEN HOW WARM THE SERN PART OF OUR CWA REACHED TODAY, WE DID SIDE WITH THE HIER GFS MOS FOR MAX TEMPS, WE MAY BE TOO TOASTY NW. So, the answer is that we can expect more rain chances, but they won't be nearly as organized as we've seen. Normal hit and miss variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to see what the rain gauge shows. from wunderground, looks like Drexel Hill got 3.23" since midnight, with most of it coming between 1-2am. You guys had a significant period (20-30 minutes) where rain rates were near 5" per hour. That's insane. http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=KPADREXE2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jns2183 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Susquehanna river at Harrisburg is hitting forecast levels 3 hours ahead of time so far and seems to be rising more rapidly each hour. The Swatara Creek right near Hershey Park has already crushed there all-time record of 16.3'. They are at 21.05' at 3:45 am and raising between .5' - .75' per hour. Here is the bad part, its forecasted crest was to be between 3pm and 4pm at only 20.1'. I cannot imagine the damage bill for hershey park when this is all over with.

That would explain why that basement fire my dept had earlier was in 3' of water. I'll have to wait for tomb to get his dp2 readings. Thanks for the heads up though! (I see this is his station possibly.) whew! Another round of lightning : thunder and rain here. Trying to get some sleep before I'm up at 6a for work.

Since 6PM yesterday, a whopping .60". hell, just think about how i just felt. I woke up around 4 am this morning, to flash flood warnings and rain pounding off my windows. I checked out the radar and was shocked to see all the rain over my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 got less than half that amount about 30 miles south of you in that same period. Talk about sandwich. Can you imagine the outrage if this were winter!! That's where part of my frustration lies. My location has been on the fringe of nearly every major weather event for over 2 years now. Also, while I admit that I want to see exciting weather, areas to my west didn't need any more heavy rain, and since we were "relatively dry" yesterday, we could have taken a good amount before any major problems arose.

I love Wunderground for this, and I appreciate you putting your gauge on it. It allows me to view different rain gauges from different locations in my watershed and estimate flooding based on them.
