daxx Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 The rain has finally stopped. My total so far is 12.40". I have never seen so much flooding. I love wild weather, but this is just too much. I hope everyone gets through it safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptb127 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 6.20 so far and then an additional 1.04" so far today bringing total to 7.24" for the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plokoon111 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Man I would of never thought the Neshaminy would flood badly again like Irene. Like Floyd and Irene they call that flood a 10 year flood if it gets into my basement. But in the time between 2 weeks?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptb127 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Up to 7.85" here in Tamaqua for the event since midnight Sunday night/Monday morning. I took a ride out west to try and get to the Susquehanna at Bloomsburg and couldn't get on I-80 west as it was closed. I ended up going up PA 93 to Berwick and got a couple of pics there that I will be posting later. There was talk of closing the Nescopeck/Berwick bridge so I got back across and gave up the notion of getting to Bloomsburg as I'd intended. They are closing that bridge as of 12 noon my sources say. Nescopeck borough is about to flood. It floods at 36' and the river is at 34.5' as of 11:30 and still climbing. Have you seen the pics from BGM susquehanna river? All that water is coming down stream.. Wilkes Barre is under the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Can I ask 2 dumb questions? 1. If these are the remnants of Lee (a tropical storm), why all the thunder and lightning. I heard nothing during Irene. 2 If we have low pressure in place, what is preventing Katia from just coming onshore? 1) Lee has transitioned into a extratropical system. 2) The closed low with Lee is WAY off to the west. Winds aloft are more or less southerly between Lee and Katia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 NJ 29 Both Directions, Bernard Dr, (MM9.5) , Ewing Twp, all lanes closed and detoured - Road Collapse At this rate the whole of 29 is going to collapse into the canal, which will then collapse into the Delaware River...

IsentropicLift Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 The cloud tops to the north of the center of Katia have really cooled the last few hours, perhaps the SW flow is helping to enhance the outflow a bit, sort of like what happened with Irene. I'm still very unsure about what effects, if any Katia will bring to the area and I'm really anxious to see what the 12z SPC WRF shows since it nailed the precip yesterday.

IsentropicLift Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 The GFS is dry today, but its wet for the weekend with 1.0"+ amounts over much of the area and....from a tropical standpoint, it's very interesting so far, basically tracking Maria over almost the exact same path that Irene took through 150hrs, and then just east of the Bahamas.

Boch23 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 So whats it look like for the rest of the day. Is the heavy stuff over or are we expecting another flare up at some point? Also the Darby Creek flooded out again as well as numerous streets flooded. My mom said it took and hour to get to work usually takes 10-15 mins.

IsentropicLift Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Not sure I agree, its a squeeze play between Katia and the trough, and while the flow from the gulf may get cut off, we're still in an onshore flow off the Atlantic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less Gulf is probably good news though. Regardless, as Ian would say, it gonna rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plokoon111 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Can we really trust the hydrograph forcast. Because it says 13ft on Neshaminy, and there is no way there is 13 feet, looks more like 19 feet in Croydon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it says 13ft on Neshaminy, and there is no way there is 13 feet, looks more like 19 feet in Croydon. Well the Langhorne gauge is above the Fall Line, so naturally the Neshaminy gets much deeper south of US-1 and Neshaminy Falls. That said, something looked screwy with AHPS and the USGS reporting ~10.5 feet, but the hydrograph showing a predicted crest at 17 ft. in a very short time from then. I haven't heard obs that support a 17 ft. crest, but I'm not witnessing this myself so I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are using a backup method to get updates on the water level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
